White Sox Claim Pitcher Yoendrys Gomez Off Dodgers Waivers

The Chicago White Sox claimed right-handed pitcher Yoendrys Gómez off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers, marking his third team in the 2025 season after beginning the year with the New York Yankees. Gómez has struggled this season, posting a 6.28 ERA in nine relief appearances combined between the Yankees and Dodgers, including a difficult stint with the Dodgers where he had a 14.54 ERA in 4.1 innings. The Dodgers designated Gómez for assignment following poor performances, especially against the Miami Marlins, and called up J.P. Feyereisen. To accommodate Gómez on the 40-man roster, the White Sox released outfielder Greg Jones, who had limited impact this season. White Sox General Manager Chris Getz views Gómez as part of the team's youth movement aimed at building a future core, hoping Gómez can capitalize on this third opportunity in the majors. Gómez is expected to join the White Sox roster soon, potentially contributing amid the team's rebuilding efforts despite currently trailing in the AL Central.
