Gomes allowed one hit over a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday against the Yankees en route to his first save of the season. |
Brad Boxberger had pitched on back-to-back days and three of the last four days prior to Tuesday's game, so he was likely unavailable. Boxberger has been pretty bad down the stretch, posting a 4.79 ERA over the second half, so it would not be surprising if the Rays opted for a closer-by-committee approach over the final weeks of the season, meaning Gomes could be called upon again. |

Gomes registered a 3.68 ERA and 1.295 WHIP in 29.1 innings pitched during the first half of the 2015 season. |
The 30-year-old has been at least a slightly above-average pitcher since the start of the 2014 season with Tampa Bay, with a 104 ERA+ in 63.1 innings. The Rays' bullpen remains extremely crowded at the top though, so it's unlikely Gomes advances above his current 6-7th inning role. |

Gomes has looked sharp so far in 2015, putting up a 1.93 ERA and 1.071 WHIP across 14 innings. |
As well as Gomes has pitched, the Rays are unlikely to use him in a high-leverage role anytime soon. His stuff (8.4 K/9, 1.9 BB/9) has been impressive enough, but Tampa Bay has used too many other pitchers in the ninth inning to reasonably think he has a shot at a job with real fantasy value. |

Gomes was called up to the Rays Saturday. |
Gomes has not been on the major league roster yet this season. He has not played in more than 30 games in a season over the past three seasons for the Rays. Gomes has a career .417 ERA in 108 innings of work. He will look to get a few innings out of the bullpen, but his exact role has not been determined. |
Mon Mar 30 2015 | 18:15 | Gomes reassigned to minor league camp |
Gomes has been reassigned to minor league camp, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. |
Gomes was a non-roster invite to Rays camp this spring and pitched well with a .93 ERA over 9.2 innings of work. He tallied 15 strikeouts and no walks. Gomes will move down to minor league camp for the time being. |

Gomes has been extended a non-roster invite to attend the Rays' major-league camp for spring training, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune reports. |
The right-hander will face an uphill battle to reclaim a spot on the team's 40-man roster after being designated for assignment last week. While Gomes posted respectable numbers in 34 innings with the big club last season (3.71 ERA, 1.15 WHIP), he benefited from a .235 BABIP and 78.1% strand rate. |
Fri Dec 19 2014 | 12:17 | The Rays designated Gomes for assignment Friday |
The Rays designated Gomes for assignment Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. |
The Rays were in need of a spot on their 40-man roster, and they decided Gomes was the player they were willing to expose to waivers. Gomes posted a 3.71 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 29 games out of the Rays' bullpen last season, so it would not be surprising to see him snapped up by another squad. |
Sun Aug 31 2014 | 11:13 | Gomes will be recalled by Rays when rosters expand Monday |
Gomes will be recalled by the Rays when rosters expand Monday, Steve Carney of 620 WDAE reports. |

Wed Aug 13 2014 | 16:51 | Gomes recalled from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday |
Gomes was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune reports. |
Manager Joe Maddon said the team was likely to make a move to add a bullpen arm after all seven of its relievers were used in the first two games of the Rangers series, and it was Gomes who got the call. The 30-year-old right-hander has spent the entire year at Durham, posting a 4.60 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 10.4 K/9 in 22 appearances (29.1 innings). His stint with the big club will likely be short, but Gomes may get an extended run when rosters expand. |
