McGuire, who was acquired from Pittsburgh on Aug. 1, hit .254/.335/.332 with 42 RBI and 34 runs over 92 games in the Double-A Eastern League.

The catcher was part of the deal that included pitcher Francisco Liriano. McGuire played in just 15 games for the Jays' Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats, and his performance there (.226/.328/.264) was a disappointing drop-off from what he'd done in 77 games for Double-A Altoona (.259/.337/.346). Widely considered the top catching prospect in the Pirates' system, McGuire will likely get a good look in spring training next year with the Jays.

Indians manager Terry Francona announced Saturday that Gomes would be out for 6-8 weeks with a fractured wrist, which the catcher suffered in a rehab game Wednesday with Double-A Akron, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.

As expected, this lengthy timetable essentially rules Gomes out for the season, a disappointing development for an Indians team that was banking on the backstop coming back after they weren't able to acquire Jonathan Lucroy at the trade deadline. Gomes had been out since mid-July with a separated shoulder, but was on the cusp of returning before sustaining the new injury while on a rehab assignment. With a Gomes return now off the table, the Tribe will continue to cast their lot with the catching tandem of Roberto Perez and Chris Gimenez, neither of whom bring much to the table from an offensive standpoint.

Gomes (wrist, shoulder) has a non-displaced fracture of his right wrist.

This is a tough pill to swallow, as there was speculation that Gomes would be able to return from the disabled list Friday. The 29-year-old is scheduled to see a specialist Friday night to determine if and when he can return to action, but this seems like a roadblock that could keep him out to the end of the season. Gomes' timetable will likely become more clear following his visit to the specialist.

Gomes (hand, shoulder) will have an MRI on Thursday and it's unclear if he will be able to come off the DL on Friday, as was previously anticipated, the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Paul Hoynes reports. "He got hit in the hand pretty good," manager Terry Francona said.

He was hit in the right hand during a rehab game Wednesday, while making what was supposed to be one of his last rehab appearances before returning from a shoulder injury. Now, it seems like there's a chance his hand could be injured to the point that he will be forced to miss more time. More information should be available after Thursday's MRI.

Gomes (shoulder) was hit on the right hand during a rehab assignment with Double-A Akron on Wednesday, Paul Hoynes of The Plain Dealer reports.

Gomes was expected to rejoin the Indians on Friday but Hoynes indicates that his return could be pushed back pending the results of tests on his hand. The team should provide another update on his status when the results are returned.

Sanchez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the Yankees' 3-0 win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.

The blast was Sanchez's 14th of the season, all of which have come since an August call-up. The young slugger is hitting .333/.411/.697 over that span, although he's cooled off a bit of late, hitting just .214 over his last 15 games.

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.

Perez (personal) is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the A's, Josh Vernier of 610 Sports Radio reports.

Perez was scratched from Monday's lineup due to the birth of his child, but he is back with the team and will be back in the lineup Tuesday night, hitting fifth and catching Danny Duffy.

Gomes (shoulder) will catch nine innings at Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Gomes is slated for DH duties Wednesday before the team will re-evaluate his progress before deciding on its next course of action.

Perez was scratched from Monday's lineup due to the birth of his child, Rustin Dodd of the Kansas City Star reports.

Perez was initially penciled into the lineup batting fifth, but the birth of his child will lead him to miss the beginning of the game at the very least. Drew Butera will fill in for him behind the plate for the evening.
