Rays' Yoendrys Gómez: Continues to struggle in 2026

Gomez allowed two runs on two hits and two walks in two innings Friday against Pittsburgh. He struck out three.

Analysis:

Gomez has now given up at least one run in five of his first six outings of 2026, having turned in a lone scoreless appearance back during the Opening Day loss to St. Louis. Through his first 12.1 innings, the right-hander has a ghastly 7.30 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 9:7 K:BB, and he is likely to continue serving in mop-up duty and low-leverage spots.
