Yoendrys Gomez was claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 10 and briefly designated for assignment 10 days later. He worked on adding pitches with the Triple-A Charlotte Knights, which led to improved performance. Gomez returned to the White Sox rotation and held the Minnesota Twins scoreless for 4.2 innings, striking out six in an 8-0 win. Across three starts and 14.2 innings, the 25-year-old right-hander has allowed four earned runs with a 1.05 WHIP and has helped the White Sox go 3-0 in his starts, earning two wins.
But Gomez got to work on adding new pitches while with the Triple-A Charlotte Knights, a process that has produced a far more effective pitcher. Gomez held the Minnesota Twins scoreless across 4.2 innings on Sunday while striking out six batters and walking three in an 8-0 White Sox victory. The White Sox starting rotation went through significant changes recently, as the team optioned Jonathan Cannon and Sean Burke to Triple-A after being mainstays since Opening Day.
"I'm just grateful for this opportunity and the confidence they've given me," Gomez said after Sunday's win. "The responsibility of starting games, that's something that I really like. I'm just glad and grateful they decided to give me that responsibility." Across three starts and 14.2 innings, the 25-year-old right-hander has allowed just four earned runs while registering a 1.05 WHIP.
