Gomez was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a right elbow impingement.
It's unclear when this ailment cropped up, although it does offer some explanation as to why Gomez hasn't been used for five straight days. The move is retroactive to May 6, although it's unclear whether the injury is minor enough to allow him to return after the minimum 10 day stay. More details on this front should come forth as his return date nears.
