High-A Aberdeen placed Gomez on the 7-day injured list Saturday with a lower-back strain, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Gomez gave up 11 earned runs in 6.1 innings over his seven most recent appearances in the Mets organization before getting traded to the Orioles at the deadline in the Cedric Mullins deal. Gomez has not pitched for the Orioles yet and logged a 4.63 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 48:25 K:BB in 35 innings across High-A and Single-A earlier this year. If he can throw more strikes, Gomez could be a late-inning arm in a few years.

Rotowire
Gomez was traded from the Mets to the Orioles on Thursday along with Anthony Nunez and Chandler Marsh in exchange for Cedric Mullins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Gomez has a fastball that has regularly touched triple digits in the past, but very poor command resulted in him moving from the rotation to the bullpen this year in the lower levels of the Mets' system. Gomez has a 6.95 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 28:15 K:BB in 22 innings as a reliever at High-A. He missed 2024 recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Mets' Raimon Gomez: Makes return from Tommy John
Rotowire
Gomez (elbow) has made two appearances for Single-A St. Lucie this season, covering 4.2 scoreless innings and allowing three hits and five walks while striking out seven.
Gomez missed most of the 2023 season and all of the 2024 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but the 23-year-old righty received a clean bill of health in advance of the 2025 campaign. He's had some issues with control in his first two outings, but that's not unexpected coming off a major arm operation.
