The Twins have placed Jhon Romero on the 10-day injured list and selected the contract of catcher Jose Godoy, per Betsy Helfand of the Pioneer Press (via Twitter). Jorge Alcala, out with elbow inflammation, was moved to the 60-day injured list.
Godoy is back on the active roster in part to protect Gary Sanchez, who is day-to-day with abdominal tightness. The Twins will look to avoid an injured list stint for Sanchez. Godoy has been the third catcher for Minnesota thus far this season, backing up Sachez and Ryan Jeffers. If he appears in a game, however, it will be the first time this season. He had 40 plate appearances with the Mariners last season, slashing .162/.225/.189.
Romero’s IL placement is made retroactive to April 20th. He is suffering from right biceps tendinitis. He was claimed off waivers from the Nationals before the season started and appeared in four games before the injury.

Hello,
Can you fix the spelling error of the word ‘Sachez’ between ‘backing up’ & ‘and Ryan Jeffers? Please & thank you.
“Godoy has been the third catcher for Minnesota thus far this season, backing up ‘Sachez’ and Ryan Jeffers.”

“Godoy is back on the active roster,” “Godoy has been the third catcher for Minnesota thus far this season, backing up Sachez (sic) and Ryan Jeffers. If he appears in a game, however, it will be the first time this season.”
All of these statements imply that Godoy has already been in the majors for the Twins this season, when actually this is Godoy’s first call-up after being DFA’d and outrighted prior to Opening Day.

Isn’t Godoy canned food?
