Yoendrys Gómez Fantasy Stats

Minnesota Twins reliever Yoendrys Gomez has moved to the front of a crowded ninth-inning picture. He converted save chances on June 28 and 29, giving him nine on the season, while no other Minnesota pitcher has more than two. Gomez owns a 3.57 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 36 strikeouts through 40 1/3 innings. His June 29 save was shaky, but he followed it with a scoreless inning on July 1. Minnesota still has not named a full-time closer, leaving some risk. Andrew Morris is the main alternative after posting an 18:3 K:BB with one save over the past 30 days. Even so, Gomez remains the best bet for the next opportunity and offers SP/RP eligibility. RotoBaller ranks him 20th among closers and recommends him in 12-team leagues, while he is rostered in only 26% of Yahoo formats. Managers chasing saves should treat him as one of the better widely available claims, not a completely secure closer.

Since being acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in early May, Minnesota Twins right-hander Yoendrys Gomez has emerged as a key piece of his team's bullpen. Across 20 2/3 innings (23 games) with Minnesota, Gomez has recorded a 1.31 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 22 strikeouts, and six saves. The 26-year-old is not the exclusive closer for the Twins, as he's been used in the eighth inning in each of his last two appearances. Still, Gomez has not been used before the eighth inning since late May, and he's logged four saves in June. He profiles as Minnesota's preferred ninth-inning option going forward and should be a waiver wire target for deep league fantasy managers in need of saves.

Minnesota Twins right-handed pitcher Yoendrys Gomez has worked his way into the center of the club's ninth-inning picture and should be rostered more widely in fantasy leagues. The 26-year-old owns a 3.65 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 35 strikeouts, and seven saves across 37 innings and 31 appearances this season. Those overall ratios are weighed down by a difficult nine-game stretch with Tampa Bay, where Gomez recorded a 6.23 ERA before being designated for assignment. Since joining Minnesota, Gomez has registered a 1.37 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 22 strikeouts over 19 2/3 innings while converting all six of his save opportunities. Manager Derek Shelton has not named an official closer, but Gomez has regularly handled the ninth inning with games on the line. A slightly lower arm slot and increased sweeper usage have helped drive his turnaround, with opponents batting .158 and slugging .184 against the pitch. Gomez is rostered in only 23% of Yahoo leagues, making him a priority pickup in 12-team formats for managers searching for saves.

Minnesota Twins reliever Yoendrys Gomez closed Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals with a clean ninth inning to earn his sixth save of the season and his third in June. On the season, the Twins' closer role has been a bit of a carousel; however, Gomez has become the clear preferred option at this point, and is worth a waiver-wire look in deeper leagues where saves are scarce or hard to come by. On the season, Gomez has not been anything spectacular, as he owns a 1.40 WHIP and 4.01 ERA with 33 strikeouts in 33 2/3 innings pitched; however, in category leagues, a save is a save. For those putting in bids for Gomez, he should come with a short leash, as nothing under the hood speaks to him being a high-upside breakout, as it's more so that he is earning the most recent saves for the Twins and converting on them.

Since being acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in early May, Minnesota Twins right-hander Yoendrys Gomez has emerged as a key piece in his new team's bullpen. Across 14 innings (16 games) with Minnesota, Gomez owns a 0.64 ERA and 0.86 WHIP with 18 strikeouts and three saves. The 26-year-old's average fastball velocity is currently a career-best 95.4 miles per hour, and he's struck out 32.7% of the batters he's faced as a Twin. Gomez's last two appearances for the Twins have both come in the eighth inning as the team continues to operate with a committee approach to the closer role. However, he's been the best reliever in Minnesota since joining the team, and it could be just a matter of time before he emerges as the preferred option in the ninth inning. For fantasy managers in need of saves, Gomez could be worth targeting on the waiver wire.

Minnesota Twins right-hander Yoendrys Gomez picked up his fourth save of the season Tuesday, recording the final four outs in a 6-4 victory over the White Sox while striking out two. The 26-year-old has steadily improved after a difficult April, posting a 0.87 ERA during May while earning a larger role in the Minnesota bullpen. Gomez now owns a 3.90 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and leads the Twins in saves. Minnesota continues to utilize multiple relievers in save situations, but Gomez has made a strong case for additional ninth-inning opportunities. Fantasy managers searching for saves should view him as a priority waiver wire target while his role continues to grow.

Since being acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in early May, Minnesota Twins reliever Yoendrys Gomez has emerged as a key piece in his new team's bullpen. Across 11 1/3 innings (13 games) with Minnesota, Gomez has pitched to a 0.79 ERA and 0.88 WHIP with 14 strikeouts and two saves. The 26-year-old has also finished six games on the mound for the Twins. Minnesota has opted for a committee approach to the ninth inning in 2026, as 11 different relievers have earned saves for the team so far this season. However, Gomez and veteran lefty Taylor Rogers are the only Twins pitchers currently on the active roster with multiple saves, and Rogers has struggled to a 4.15 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in his 25 appearances. If Gomez can continue his strong work, he could take hold of the closer role in Minnesota. He profiles as a worthy waiver wire target in deeper leagues.

Twins right-hander Yoendrys Gomez worked around a hit and an unearned run to secure his third save of the season in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-innings victory over the White Sox. Minnesota has rotated several relievers through ninth-inning opportunities recently, but Gomez now leads the club in saves and appears to be gaining momentum in high-leverage situations. After a difficult start to the season, the 25-year-old has posted a 1.04 ERA in May while lowering his season ERA to 4.50. Gomez has shown improved command and poise late in games, helping him climb the bullpen hierarchy. Fantasy managers searching for saves should continue to monitor Gomez closely as his role with the Twins continues to grow.

The Chicago White Sox announced on Tuesday that they selected the contract of right-hander Yoendrys Gomez from Triple-A Charlotte, and he will make the start on Tuesday night against the division-rival Detroit Tigers. In a corresponding move, the team optioned right-hander Elvis Peguero to Charlotte. Gomez debuted in the big leagues in 2023 with the New York Yankees and has made 18 relief appearances since then with the Yanks, Los Angeles Dodgers and White Sox, but this will be his first start. In 17 2/3 innings pitched this year with all three of the aforementioned clubs, the 25-year-old has allowed 14 runs (13 earned) on 20 hits (three homers) while walking 13 and striking out 13. He has worked as a starter for the last few months in the minors, so he's stretched out, but fantasy managers should be avoiding him everywhere against the first-place Tigers.
