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 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.””
