Indians manager Terry Francona said Sunday that Gomes could be included on the club's ALDS roster, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
Gomes was activated from the DL on Friday after a lengthy absence due to a separated shoulder and fractured wrist. However, he's still not fully comfortable hitting just yet. The Indians included Gomes in the lineup behind the plate for their regular-season finale Sunday against the Royals, so that may serve as a testing ground to see what Gomes is capable of doing in the batter's box. If Gomes is included on the ALDS roster, the Indians would likely carry three catchers as a safeguard against another injury setback.
