Yorman Gómez: Everything you need to know

Triple-A Columbus placed Gomez on its 7-day injured list April 5 due to a right shoulder strain. After being added to Cleveland's 40-man roster over the winter, Gomez has yet to make his 2026 organizational debut due to the shoulder injury, which he likely sustained at some point during spring training. The right-hander has yet to pitch at the Triple-A level after splitting time with High-A Lake County and Double-A Akron in 2025 while submitting a 2.96 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 139:48 K:BB in 121.2 innings between the two stops.

The Guardians optioned Gomez to minor-league camp Friday. Gomez was added to the 40-man roster over the winter but never had a real chance to win an Opening Day roster spot. The righty coughed up four runs on five hits and a 1:4 K:BB over 3.1 innings in Cactus League play.
