Ahead of Saturday’s game, the Rays announced that they had designated Yoendrys Gómez for assignment.
Rays Communications wrote: “The Tampa Bay Rays have reinstated LHP Garrett Cleavinger (right calf tightness) from the 15-day IL. To make room on the active roster, RHP Yoendrys Gómez has been designated for assignment.”
Gómez has a 6.23 ERA in nine games for the Rays this season.
He had been in the middle of his first season with the franchise.
Gómez’s MLB Career

Gómez had spent the first two and a half seasons of his career with the Yankees.
In that span, the 26-year-old went 1-1 with a 3.09 ERA in 12 games.
Last year, Gómez was claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

After a quick stop in Los Angeles, Gómez then finished last year with the Chicago White Sox.
Over 36 career games, he has gone 3-3 with a 5.11 ERA.
It will be interesting to see if he ends up in Triple-A (or elects free agency).
At his age, Gómez could be an intriguing option for other bullpens around baseball.
Bryan Hoch of MLB.com had written (on March 17, 2025): “Yoendrys Gomez has thrown nine scoreless innings this spring. His velocity is up & he’s throwing strikes. Aaron Boone stopped short of guaranteeing him a roster spot but said the team is “excited about the steps YoGo has made.””
