Goody was optioned to a> to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Goody appeared in a team-high 10 games this spring and posted an impressive 0.90 ERA and 0.70 WHIP while racking up an 11:3 K:BB. Despite the impressive Cactus League performance, the righty will need to prove he can get admirable results consistently before being trusted in the MLB bullpen. Goody has some big-league experience and will likely bounce between levels this season when the Tribe needs some bullpen help.

Goody has allowed just one run on three hits and three walks while striking out seven through seven Cactus League games.
EDGE Analysis
Goody has been one of the most impressive arms this spring among the team's large stable of young guns. The Tribe picked up the deceptive reliever from the Yankees, where he had a career 2.19 ERA in the minors. Goody has done all he can to prove his worthy of an Opening Day roster spot, and he'd be a strong relief option in most MLB bullpens. However, he's vying for a role in one of the best bullpens in the game, so he may be forced to open 2017 at Triple-A Columbus.

Goody allowed a hit and struck out one in his first inning of spring work Sunday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old appeared in 27 games for the Yankees last season (29 innings). He began the 2016 campaign well, but after an awful nine-game stretch in June (7.88 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and .371 BAA), Goody spent most of the second half in triple-A. The Indians' acquired him in late-December and he'll spend the spring competing for a middle-relief spot.

Goody was traded to the Indians for a player to be named later or cash considerations Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old was designated for assignment earlier in the month to make room on the 40-man roster for Aroldis Chapman, but he'll get a new chance to crack the majors with this change of scenery. Goody possesses excellent strikeout numbers and some major league experience, but his lack of control and trouble with home runs could leave him in the minors for much of the 2017 season.

Goody was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
With Aroldis Chapman's signing becoming official, Goody got the bump from the 40-man roster and he will now be subjected to waivers. While Goody missed bats at a good clip last season, he struggled with walks and home runs -- his 5.28 FIP suggests he overachieved with a 4.66 ERA.

Goody is away from the team as he deals with a personal issue, Chad Jennings of LoHud.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per the report, Goody's locker has been cleared out, and so with the season set to end Sunday it would seem to imply he won't be back for the remainder of the year. If that's the case, the 25-year-old closes out 2016 with 34 strikeouts in 29 innings (10.6 K/9), but an uninspiring 4.66 ERA and a 5.34 FIP that suggests he was even lucky to attain that mark.

Goody was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander turned in a 1.93 ERA in 18 appearances with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with nearly nine strikeouts for every walk issued, but he's struggled against more patient hitters at the major league level. Goody misses plenty of bats with his fastball/slider combo but he will have a tough time separating from the middle innings without cutting down on the walks.

Goody was optioned back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Goody has spent most of the 2016 going back and forth between New York and the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate, and will go back to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday. He will likely be back up with the team in the coming weeks as the Yankees shuffle between players on the field and in the bullpen.

Goody was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Goody will return to the Yankees after being optioned less than two weeks ago. The right-hander has pitched 25.0 big league innings on the year, amassing a 1.24 WHP and 28.6 percent K-rate. New York also added another righty, Tyler Clippard, to the big league roster Monday.

Goody was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.
EDGE Analysis
The righty has posted a 4.32 ERA in 25 big league innings this year, although his 1.24 WHIP and 28.6 percent K-rate suggest he has been a tad better than his ERA suggests. Chad Green was recalled from Triple-A as a corresponding move.
