Gomes is out of the lineup for Game 1 of the Indians' doubleheader Wednesday against the Yankees.

Roberto Perez will handle the catching duties in the day's first game, but it's fully expected that Gomes will be behind the dish for the nightcap Wednesday. Gomes still retains the top spot on the depth chart at catcher, but those hoping for him to reemerge as a high-end fantasy option this season have been sorely disappointed. He's batting just .221 on the campaign, though his .307 on-base percentage represents more than a 100-point upgrade from his dismal 2016 season.
