Goeddel, 24, has been optioned to Triple-A Louisville. The 6-foot-4, 180-pound Goeddel was a Rule 5 pick of the Phillies in 2015 and spent the entire season on the Phillies’ roster. He hit .192/.258/.291 in 92 games for Philadelphia last season, playing both left and right field.
The Phillies designated him for assignment to make room for outfielder Brock Stassi on the 40-man roster.
