The Yankees optioned Gomez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.
Gomez made his major-league debut Thursday in Toronto and struck out four of the eight batters he faced over two scoreless innings of relief. The 23-year-old right-hander should be a consideration for the Opening Day roster next spring, whether in a rotation or bullpen role. He's mostly worked as a starter in the minors.

Rotowire
Gomez was called up from Double-A Somerset on Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Gomez held a 3.58 ERA and 78:37 K:BB across 65.1 innings of work covering 19 starts with Somerset this season to earn a look with the big club. The 23-year-old right-hander will be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game. Luke Weaver is slated to start Friday's game versus the Diamondbacks, so Gomez could be needed to eat some relief innings.

Yankees' Yoendrys Gomez: Cleared for season debut
Rotowire
Double-A Somerset reinstated Gomez (shoulder) from the 7-day injured list Sunday.
Gomez will make his season debut Sunday after missing six-plus weeks with a shoulder injury. The 23-year-old has shown the ability to miss bats in the minors and registered a 2.49 ERA over 47 innings in the 2022 campaign, but he carries durability and command concerns that might make him better suited for a relief role at the highest level.

Yankees' Yoendrys Gomez: Out with shoulder injury
Rotowire
Gomez is on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Somerset with a shoulder injury, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.
The 23-year-old righty was seen as a high-upside prospect in the past, but durability has been a major issue, as he has never logged more than 56.1 innings in a season, and that high-water mark was back in 2019. Given that he is already on the Yankees' 40-man roster, it wouldn't be surprising to see Gomez transitioned to a full-time relief role in the next year or two.

Yankees' Yoendrys Gomez: Recovering from elbow surgery
Rotowire
Gomez had elbow surgery last August and should return for Low-A Tampa sometime in the first half of this season, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.
Given this timetable, we can rule out Tommy John surgery, so it may have been some kind of cleanup procedure. Gomez is already 22 and has not pitched above Low-A.

Gomez has a sore arm and will miss the start of the minor-league season, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.
