July 18th, 2020

BOSTON, MA— The Boston Red Sox today added right-handed pitcher Zack Godley to their Club Player Pool. He will participate in Major League Summer Camp as a non-roster invitee.

Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom made the announcement.

Godley, 30, split last season between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Toronto Blue Jays, making 33 appearances (nine starts). A five-year major league veteran, the right-hander has made at least 25 starts in a season twice during his career, doing so with Arizona in 2017 (25) and 2018 (32). Selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 10th round of the 2013 MLB Draft, the South Carolina native is 37-30 with a 4.68 ERA (279 ER/536.2 IP) over 128 appearances (81 starts) with the Diamondbacks (2015-19) and Blue Jays (2019).

The Red Sox have 57 players in their Club Player Pool, including 34 members of the 40-man roster and 23 non-roster invitees.
