The Diamondbacks may have gone 7-3 in their last ten and rookie starting pitcher Zack Godley may have won all three of his first starts in the majors with a combines ERA of 1.50, that doesn’t mean the Diamondbacks are obligated to keep Godley in the majors. In fact, with Chase Anderson expected back on Saturday and the bullpen heavily taxed due to recent short starts, the Diamondbacks decided to send Godley down.
While sending Godley down doesn’t make much sense on the surface, for this team, right now, it does.
The Diamondbacks have already surpassed this season’s expectations going 51-54 to this point.
