Records fourth save Tuesday Gomez picked up the save in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the White Sox, recording a pair of strikeouts over 1.1 hitless and scoreless innings.

Impact Since being acquired from the Rays earlier this season, Gomez has become a reliable late-innings arm for manager Derek Shelton and is a perfect 3-for-3 on save chances with Minnesota. Across 12.2 innings with the Twins, Gomez has allowed just two runs (one earned) on six hits with a 16:4 K:BB. He's struck out nearly one-third (32.7 percent) of the batters he's faced.

Third save of season Gomez earned his third save of the season in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the White Sox. He allowed a run and struck out one in one inning of work.

Impact Gomez entered the game in the 11th inning when the Twins had a three-run lead. Even though he allowed a run when an RBI single from Chase Meidroth scored Munetaka Murakami, he managed to close the door on the win while tossing 11 of his 18 pitches for strikes. Gomez has gone 3-for-3 in save chances this season. Taylor Rogers will remain as the Twins' closer for the foreseeable future, but Gomez remains a reliable arm in the late-inning mix. He owns a 1.04 ERA and 0.81 WHIP across 10 appearances (8.2 innings) in May.

Logs first save with Minnesota Gomez earned the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Guardians after recording all three outs in a scoreless ninth.

Impact Eric Orze was deployed in the Twins' 2-1 extra-innings win Saturday, so Gomez was tasked with protecting the Twins' one-run lead in the ninth. He answered the call by tossing nine strikes on 10 pitches for his second save of the season and third of his major-league career. The Twins are still figuring out who their go-to closer is as seven players logging at least one save this season. Justin Topa leads the way with two saves, though he's given up nine earned runs over his last 2.1 innings.

Acquired by Twins The Twins acquired Gomez from the Rays on Wednesday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Impact It's unclear whether it was a straight waiver claim or a trade, but Gomez is out of minor-league options so he will join the Twins' bullpen. The 26-year-old holds a 6.23 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 13:10 K:BB through 17.1 innings at the big-league level in 2026.

MAY 6 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd by Rays The Rays designated Gomez for assignment Saturday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Impact Gomez has gotten off to a poor start this season, logging a 6.23 ERA and 1.67 WHIP with a 13:10 K:BB through 17.1 innings, and he'll now end up as the odd man out of a roster spot following Garrett Cleavinger's (calf) return from the injured list. Gomez, 26, owns a 5.11 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in his MLB career and could end up spending the rest of the season as organizational depth if he clears waivers.

Continues to struggle in 2026 Gomez allowed two runs on two hits and two walks in two innings Friday against Pittsburgh. He struck out three.

Impact Gomez has now given up at least one run in five of his first six outings of 2026, turning in a lone scoreless appearance back during the Opening Day loss to St. Louis. Through his first 12.1 innings, the right-hander has a ghastly 7.30 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 9:7 K:BB and is likely to continue serving in mop-up duty and low-leverage spots.

Struggling in Grapefruit League Gomez allowed three runs on two hits and one walk in one inning during Monday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta. He struck out one.

Impact After representing Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, Gomez has since reported back to Rays camp to continue battling for an Opening Day roster spot. However, the 26-year-old right-hander may be falling behind in the competition, posting a 5.14 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB over seven Grapefruit League frames so far. Tampa Bay is likely to carry multiple bulk relievers to begin the new year, with Shane McClanahan and Steven Matz under workload restrictions early on, but Ian Seymour and Joe Boyle could be the more likely choices to make the team.

White Sox acquire outfielder Everson Pereira in a trade with the Rays

NOVEMBER 19, 2025 • Associated Press

Shipped to Tampa Bay The White Sox traded Gomez and Steven Wilson to the Rays on Tuesday in exchange for Everson Pereira and Jacob Kisting, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Gomez joined the White Sox last May as a waiver-wire claim from the Dodgers, who had previously claimed him off waivers from the Yankees. The right-hander ended up appearing in 12 contests (including nine starts) for Chicago, posting a 4.84 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 47:16 K:BB over 48.1 innings. Gomez mostly worked as a starter during his time in the minors, but Tampa Bay may elect to use him out of the bullpen.

Falters late in no-decision Gomez did not factor into the decision in Friday's 10-9 win over the Nationals, allowing five runs on eight hits and no walks with five strikeouts over six innings.

Impact Gomez entered the sixth in line for a quality start before yielding three runs in the frame, ending the day having allowed four home runs. It still marked the longest outing of the 25-year-old's career, and he posted a 4.60 ERA over nine second-half starts. For the season, he finished with a 5.17 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 58:27 K:BB across 62.2 innings as both a reliever and starter.

Punches out four in third loss Gomez (3-3) was charged with the loss Saturday against the Padres, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

Impact Gomez worked at least five innings in his fifth consecutive start, but he still remains without a quality start in 2025. The swingman has a 4.92 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 53:27 K:BB across 56.2 innings (eight starts), leaving his fantasy value quite limited outside of the most favorable matchups. Gomez is scheduled to get one more chance to leave an impression in the Chicago rotation ahead of 2026 next weekend against the Nationals.
