August 7th, 2019

The TORONTO BLUE JAYS have claimed RHP ZACK GODLEY off waivers from the ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS.

GODLEY, 29, holds a 3-5 record with a 6.39 ERA across nine starts and 18 relief appearances for Arizona this season, striking out 58 batters in 76.0 innings pitched. The 6-3, 240 lb. right-handed pitcher was acquired by the Diamondbacks in 2014 from the Chicago Cubs who drafted him in the 10th round of the 2013 First-Year Player Draft. The Bamberg, SC, native owns a career record of 36-30 with a 4.70 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP in five seasons with Arizona.

To make room on the 40-man roster, RHP DAVID PAULINO has been designated for assignment.
