Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Yoendrys Gómez, 26-year-old right-handed reliever, was acquired by the Minnesota Twins from the Tampa Bay Rays in May 2026 for cash considerations. Gómez had been designated for assignment by Tampa Bay after posting a 6.23 ERA through 17.1 innings in 2026. The Twins view him as a velocity addition to their bullpen. Gómez has struggled in the majors with a career 5.11 ERA over 93.1 innings across four seasons (Yankees, Dodgers, White Sox, Rays), but shows more promise in Triple-A with a 3.12 ERA over 130 innings. In 2026 with Minnesota, he has posted a 5.68 ERA with 13 strikeouts and 10 walks over 19 innings, though he earned a save in a recent appearance against the Guardians.
