The Yankees optioned Gomez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.
Gomez was able to get through his two-inning appearance Monday without giving up a run, bringing his ERA down to 3.97 through 11.1 frames in the majors. He'll now return to Triple-A following the acquisition of Mark Leiter from the Cubs, though Gomez could still return to New York later in the year should the Yankees need a fresh bullpen arm.

Yankees' Yoendrys Gomez: Returns to Triple-A
Rotowire
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.

Yankees' Yoendrys Gomez: Cut from big-league camp
Rotowire
The Yankees optioned Gomez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
Gomez made his MLB debut late last season with a scoreless two-inning appearance but was never a likely bet to crack the Yankees' Opening Day roster. He made one Grapefruit League appearance with New York during spring training and gave up two runs on two hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning. Gomez pitched well as a starter at Double-A Somerset last season with a 3.58 ERA across 65.1 innings.

The Yankees optioned Gomez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.
Gomez made his major-league debut Thursday in Toronto and struck out four of the eight batters he faced over two scoreless innings of relief. The 23-year-old right-hander should be a consideration for the Opening Day roster next spring, whether in a rotation or bullpen role. He's mostly worked as a starter in the minors.

Gomez was called up from Double-A Somerset on Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Gomez held a 3.58 ERA and 78:37 K:BB across 65.1 innings of work covering 19 starts with Somerset this season to earn a look with the big club.

Luke Weaver is slated to start Friday's game versus the Diamondbacks, so Gomez could be needed to eat some relief innings.

Yankees' Yoendrys Gomez: Cleared for season debut
Rotowire
Double-A Somerset reinstated Gomez (shoulder) from the 7-day injured list Sunday.
Gomez will make his season debut Sunday after missing six-plus weeks with a shoulder injury. The 23-year-old has shown the ability to miss bats in the minors and registered a 2.49 ERA over 47 innings in the 2022 campaign, but he carries durability and command concerns that might make him better suited for a relief role at the highest level.

Yankees' Yoendrys Gomez: Out with shoulder injury
Rotowire
Gomez is on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Somerset with a shoulder injury, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.
The 23-year-old righty was seen as a high-upside prospect in the past, but durability has been a major issue, as he has never logged more than 56.1 innings in a season, and that high-water mark was back in 2019. Given that he is already on the Yankees' 40-man roster, it wouldn't be surprising to see Gomez transitioned to a full-time relief role in the next year or two.

Gomez had elbow surgery last August and should return for Low-A Tampa sometime in the first half of this season, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.
