Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Logs first save with Minnesota
Rotowire
Gomez earned the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Guardians by recording all three outs in a scoreless ninth.
Gomez was tasked with protecting the Twins' one-run lead in the ninth and answered the call by tossing nine strikes on 10 pitches for his second save of the season and third of his major-league career. The Twins are still figuring out who their go-to closer will be, and seven players have logged at least one save this season. Justin Topa leads the way with two saves, though he's given up nine earned runs over his last 2.1 innings.

Rays' Yoendrys Gomez: DFA'd by Rays
Rotowire
The Rays designated Gomez for assignment Saturday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
Gomez has gotten off to a poor start this season, logging a 6.23 ERA and 1.67 WHIP with a 13:10 K:BB through 17.1 innings, and he'll now end up as the odd man out of a roster spot following Garrett Cleavinger's (calf) return from the injured list. Gomez, 26, owns a 5.11 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in his MLB career and could end up spending the rest of the season as organizational depth if he clears waivers.

Rays' Yoendrys Gomez: Continues to struggle in 2026
Rotowire
Gomez allowed two runs on two hits and two walks in two innings Friday against Pittsburgh. He struck out three.
Gomez has now given up at least one run in five of his first six outings of 2026, having turned in a lone scoreless appearance back during the Opening Day loss to St. Louis. Through his first 12.1 innings, the right-hander has a ghastly 7.30 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 9:7 K:BB, and he is likely to continue serving in mop-up duty and low-leverage spots.

Rays' Yoendrys Gomez: Struggling in Grapefruit League
Rotowire
Gomez allowed three runs on two hits and one walk in one inning during Monday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta. He struck out one.
After representing Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, Gomez has since reported back to Rays camp to continue battling for an Opening Day roster spot. However, the 26-year-old right-hander may be falling behind in the competition, posting a 5.14 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB over seven Grapefruit League frames so far. Tampa Bay is likely to carry multiple bulk relievers to begin the new year, with Shane McClanahan and Steven Matz under workload restrictions early on. Ian Seymour and Joe Boyle would be the more obvious choices to make the team if not for the fact Gomez is out of minor-league options.

White Sox's Yoendrys Gomez: Allows two homers
Rotowire
Gomez allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five in five innings Tuesday against the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.
Three of the four runs against Gomez came via the long ball -- a two-run homer by Josh Lowe in the second and a solo shot by Richie Palacios in the fourth. It marks Gomez's first time in 18 appearances this season allowing multiple home runs. Gomez's strikeout numbers remain solid, as he has a 10.6 K/9 in his last four outings and he's issued only two walks in his last two starts after having some command and control issues to end August. Gomez lines up to complete a two-start week against the Guardians this weekend.

White Sox's Yoendrys Gomez: Fans seven in first MLB start
Rotowire
Gomez (2-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Tigers, allowing one run on one hit and one walk over five innings. He struck out seven.
Making his first major-league start, the 25-year-old right-hander set the tone early with three scoreless frames, keeping Detroit's bats quiet before Wenceel Perez broke through with a sacrifice fly in the fourth. The outing added to his growing body of work in the majors; he's now made 13 appearances this season, posting a 5.56 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 20:14 K:BB across 22.2 innings. Given his poise in a spot-start situation, Gomez could be in line for another turn in the rotation as the White Sox evaluate his role down the stretch.

White Sox's Yoendrys Gomez: Promoted for first MLB start
Rotowire
The White Sox selected Gomez's contract from Triple-A Charlotte, and he's scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Gomez has excelled in that role at Triple-A and has a 2.12 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 64:21 K:BB over 46.2 innings, so Chicago will now give him his first start in the majors.

White Sox's Yoendrys Gomez: Claimed by Pale Hose
Rotowire
The White Sox claimed Gomez off waivers from the Dodgers on Saturday.
The Dodgers designated Gomez for assignment Tuesday, one day after he gave up three earned runs while recording just one out against Miami. He has a bloated 6.28 ERA and 1.81 WHIP across 14.1 frames this season, but the White Sox recognized enough potential in the 25-year-old righty to put in a waiver claim for him. He'll report to the big club and will likely fill a long-relief role.

Yankees' Yoendrys Gomez: Struggling with control
Rotowire
Gomez tossed two-thirds of an inning against San Francisco on Friday, allowing one run on no hits and four walks. He struck out two.
Gomez entered in the sixth inning with New York trailing by seven and promptly walked the first three batters he faced. The righty rebounded to strike out Matt Chapman and Heliot Ramos with the bases loaded, but he then issued another free pass to force in a run. Gomez didn't get a chance to throw another pitch, as Mother Nature intervened, and the contest was called due to inclement weather. Overall, Gomez threw just 14 of 33 pitches for strikes in the outing, continuing a troubling early season trend -- through seven innings this season, he's walked eight batters. Of additional concern is that Gomez's velocity was down Friday, as he averaged just 90.1 mph on his fastball. However, he said through an interpreter after the contest that he "felt good" and suggested that the rough weather may have affected his performance, mentioning "some factors" that he had to deal with, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. The Associated Press also notes that Gomez had trouble gripping the ball due to the rain.

Gomez was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Padres.
Gomez will return to Triple-A after tossing a scoreless inning with three strikeouts in the team's 8-0 victory over San Diego on Friday. The right-hander was filling in for Nick Burdi (hip) on the major-league roster, but with Ian Hamilton (illness) set to be activated from the COVID-19 injured list ahead of the team's series in Anaheim on Tuesday, Gomez was the odd man out with New York.
