Zack Godley trying to prove that he belongs in the majors

The Diamondbacks rotation took a huge hit on April 23 when Shelby Miller tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow in the 5th inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Miller has since gotten Tommy John Surgery, leaving a hole in the rotation. The Diamondbacks called up two pitchers to try to fill that hole, Braden Shipley and Zack Godley. Godley got the first turn on April 26 against the San Diego Padres. After getting sent down and a terrible game from Shipley against the Nationals, Godley was given a second crack at it. Two starts later, the competition is likely over.
