There was good news and bad news for Milwaukee pitcher Zack Godley yesterday. The team activated him off the injured list, where he had been recovering from a finger that was bruised during a bunt attempt nearly two weeks ago. He was then designated for assignment. If he’s not claimed off waivers by another team, Godley could become a free agent, or accept a Minor League assignment.
