The Los Angeles Dodgers claimed pitcher Yoendrys Gómez from the New York Yankees, filling a gap in their roster after designating Eddie Rosario for assignment. Gómez, a former top-30 Yankee prospect, has had limited MLB success, partly due to Tommy John surgery in 2021. He debuted in 2023 after three stints in the Yankees bullpen, holding a 3.09 ERA over 12 games. While he may provide immediate relief for the Dodgers, he is out of Minor League options, potentially complicating his future with the team.
"Gómez could serve as some immediate depth for a Dodgers bullpen that's taken on a heavy workload to begin the season and is currently without several expected contributors."
"Over parts of three years while up with the Yankees, Gómez is a career 1-1 with a 3.09 ERA, 5.47 FIP and 1.41 WHIP in 12 games."
"Gómez had been part of the Yankees organization since signing as an international amateur free agent out of Venezuela in 2016 and developed into a top-30 prospect."
"In his six games this year before the Yankees' DFA decision, Gómez was 1-1 with a 2.70 ERA and five strikeouts over 10 innings pitched."
