Godley was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Godley was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Monday but will now head to the minors after he went unclaimed on waivers. The right-hander allowed four runs (three earned) on one hit and five walks while striking out five in three innings during his lone major-league start this year.

Godley (finger) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday and designated for assignment.
EDGE Analysis
Godley made a single start for the Brewers this season, lasting just three innings before exiting with a bruised finger. He'll now be available for any team to claim, but his 6.55 ERA over the last three seasons is unlikely to make him an attractive option.

Godley was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a bruised finger, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He said his finger is not broken, just bruised, after injuring it on a bunt attempt Wednesday. Eric Lauer was recalled to start Thursday's game in a corresponding move.

Godley exited Wednesday's game against the Marlins due to a bruised right index finger, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Godley was hit on the index finger on his throwing hand while he was bunting in the third inning and initially remained in the game, but he was later removed in the fourth inning. Godley was starting in place of Brett Anderson (hamstring) on Wednesday, and he struggled with command by issuing five walks in three frames. The severity of Godley's injury is unknown, and it's not yet clear whether he'll make another start, even if he's healthy in time for his next turn through the rotation.

Godley left Wednesday's game against the Marlins in the fourth inning with an apparent injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Godley appeared to be hit on the index finger while bunting in the third inning, but he was able to initially remain in the game. However, he issued a walk to begin the fourth inning and hit Chad Wallach with a pitch prior to leaving the game with a trainer. It's not yet clear whether Godley's departure is related to his finger issue, and whether he's forced to miss additional time remains to be seen. Godley allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and five walks while striking out five in three innings prior to leaving the game.

Godley's contract was selected by the Brewers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Godley is slated to start Wednesday's series finale against the Marlins since Brett Anderson (hamstring) is on the injured list. The right-hander made eight appearances (seven starts) for Boston in 2020 and posted an 8.16 ERA and 1.95 WHIP in 28.2 innings.

Manager Craig Counsell announced Godley will start Wednesday's series finale against the Marlins, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old inked a minor-league deal with the Brewers toward the end of spring training, and he'll make his debut with the club Wednesday while Brett Anderson (hamstring) is on the injured list. Godley struggled with an 8.16 ERA over 28.2 innings for the Red Sox in 2020, but he could stick in the Brewers' rotation with a strong performance versus the Marlins, at least until Anderson recovers from the injury.

Godley signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Godley elected free agency in October after refusing an outright assignment to the minors and will have to settle for a minor-league deal with just under two weeks remaining until Opening Day. The right-hander could appear in the majors at some point during the 2021 season but seems likely to begin the year at Triple-A Nashville.

Godley (elbow) elected free agency Monday after exercising his right to refuse an outright assignment to the minors, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Godley struggled to an 8.16 ERA in seven starts and one relief appearance before landing on the injured list with a flexor strain in early September. While it's possible the elbow woes contributed to his struggles, he posted a 5.97 ERA in 2019, so his numbers weren't significantly worse than expectations. Heading into his age-31 season and carrying both injury and performance questions, Godley isn't likely to be a particularly appealing option on the free agent market.

Godley (elbow) was transferred to the 45-day injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Godley suffered a right elbow flexor strain in early September, and he's now officially sidelined for the remainder of the season. The right-hander finishes the 2020 campaign with a career-worst 8.16 ERA and 1.95 WHIP over 28.2 innings across eight appearances (seven starts). The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Cesar Puello, whose contract was selected in a corresponding move.
