Goody signed a contract Monday with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.
EDGE Analysis
Goody had previously spent time in the Mexican League with Los Acereros de Monclava to begin the 2022 season, but he'll return to the United States as he looks to earn another opportunity in the big leagues. Before that happens, Goody will likely need to parlay a strong showing on Long Island into a minor-league deal with an organization. He most recently appeared in the majors with the Rangers in 2020, when he submitted a 9.00 ERA and 2.00 WHIP across 11 innings.

Goody signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Tuesday, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goody latched on with the Nationals on a minor-league deal after being released by the Yankees in early July. While Goody posted a 2.86 ERA with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to begin the campaign, he struggled to a 5.14 ERA across his 14 innings at Rochester before being cut loose once again. The right-hander will provide New York with minor-league relief depth as he looks to make his way onto the major-league roster down the stretch.

Goody signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Tuesday, freelance baseball writer Byron Kerr reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goody was let go by the Yankees on Sunday, but he'll land another minor-league roster spot several days later. The right-hander made 17 relief appearances for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and was effective with a 2.86 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in 22 innings. He's been assigned to Triple-A Rochester but could join the Nationals' pitching staff at some point in 2021.

Goody was released by the Yankees on Sunday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander signed a minor-league deal with the Yankees in February but never received a big-league opportunity. Goody pitched well at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with a 2.86 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 31:7 K:BB across 22 innings.

The Yankees announced Wednesday that Goody signed a minor-league contract with the organization that includes an invitation to big-league spring training.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old will rejoin the organization that drafted him in the sixth round in 2012. Since making his big-league debut for the Yankees in 2015, Goody has spent time in the Cleveland and Texas organizations through the first six years of his career, logging a 4.19 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 17.2 K-BB% over 158 appearances. He found little success with the Rangers in 2020 while also missing time due to back spasms, so he'll need to stay healthy and perform well in spring training to have a realistic shot at winning a spot in New York's Opening Day bullpen.

EDGE Analysis
Goody had a rough outing Wednesday as he allowed three runs on three hits over one-third of an inning. He'll be removed from the 40-man roster after posting a 9.00 ERA over 17 appearances in 2020. Andrew Romine's contract was selected in a corresponding move.

Goody (back) was activated from the injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Goody wound up missing two weeks with back spasms. Prior to landing on the shelf, the right-hander compiled a 4.50 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 2:3 K:BB across seven appearances (four innings). He figures to ease back into a setup role.

Goody was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with back spasms.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old was unavailable over the weekend with what the team called lower-back tightness, and the injury has now been reclassified as back spasms. It's unclear how long Goody is expected to be sidelined.
