The speedy recovery of Indians catcher Yan Gomes will start a rehab assignment at Class A Lake County Friday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Gomes was supposed to be out as long as two months after sustaining a knee injury on April 11. But he could be back after a six-week absence if all goes well.

The Indians are in desperate need of their starting catcher. Backup Roberto Perez has struggled at the plate and in handling pitchers, particularly ace Corey Kluber.
