White Sox Designate Yoendrys Gomez For Assignment

By Steve Adams | May 20, 2025 at 2:32pm CDT

The White Sox announced Tuesday that right-hander Yoendrys Gomez has been designated for assignment. His spot on the roster goes to veteran righty Adrian Houser, whose previously reported major league deal with the South Siders has now been formally announced. Chicago had just claimed Gomez off waivers from the Dodgers ten days ago.

The Sox were Gomez’s third team of the still-young season. A former top prospect in the Yankees’ system, he’s bounced from the Bronx to L.A. to Chicago’s South Side. Along the way, he’s totaled 17 2/3 innings and allowed 13 runs (6.62 ERA) on 20 hits and 13 walks with 13 strikeouts. He tossed 3 1/3 innings with Chicago and allowed three runs on five hits, two walks and a hit batter. Gomez has now pitched 31 innings in the majors and yielded a 5.23 ERA.

Lackluster major league track record notwithstanding, Gomez sports near-identical ERAs of 3.64 and 3.67 in Double-A and Triple-A, respectively. Those have come in samples of 83 1/3 innings and 81 2/3 frames. Gomez has fanned 27% of his opponents in Triple-A against an 11.3% walk rate, and his Double-A rates (28.3% and 12.6%) are again quite similar.

Any team that claims or acquires Gomez will have to plug him right onto the MLB roster. He’s out of minor league options and can’t be sent down without first clearing waivers. The once-promising righty’s development has been slowed by the canceled 2020 minor league season and a Tommy John procedure that wiped out most of his 2021-22 campaigns. He could potentially benefit from some additional time in the upper minors, but it’s not a luxury teams can pursue until he passes through waivers. If Gomez goes unclaimed this time around, he’ll stick with the Sox as a depth option; he lacks the major league service time or the prior outright assignment needed to reject an outright assignment in favor of free agency.

    He’s pitched 3 innings on a team that’s bullpen has 15 losses so far this year….just let the kid pitch until the all star break and see what you have or not,

      If you call that pitching.

      Gomez is well below average in every pitching metric. So you get what you expect with him.

    Getz is clueless. With the #10 pick in draft he will take a pitcher.

      I’m wouldn’t be opposed if Getz takes another pitcher like last year but I would perform a prep SS or OF.

        I would prefer the best college outfielder. HS ss take to long and are a big gamble. We have a 2 first rd ss from the last few years who are not doing well at all.

          Caleb Bonemer has been very good so far, I was hoping last year they draft B Montgomery instead of H Smith but Getz ended up trading Crochet which included B Montgomery so Getz got 2 first round draft picks for the price of one.

    Poor guy but at least he has like a 30% chance of getting a ring this year since he played for the Yankees and Dodgers
