Gomes (shoulder) is expected to come off the disabled list Friday, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.
Gomes has been out since July 17 with a separated shoulder, but it appears that he's finally nearing his return. Gomes hasn't shown the ability to produce at the plate over the 71 games he's played this season, as he owns an awful .165/.198/.313 line and 26 percent strikeout rate.
