Pirates Claim Catcher Jose Godoy

The Pittsburgh Pirates claimed catcher Jose Godoy off waivers from the Minnesota Twins on Friday and he is active for tonight’s game. To make room on the 40-man roster, Taylor Davis has been designated for assignment. Davis was called up yesterday to replace Tyler Heineman, who was placed on the 10-day Injured List.

Godoy is 27 years old, with parts of two seasons in the majors, debuting with the Seattle Mariners last year when he hit .162/.225/.189 in 16 games. He has played two games this year with the Twins and doesn’t have a hit, though he has walked twice.
