Scouting Report: Yan Gomes
Chicago Cubs | C
Overall
Summary
Yan Gomes is dealing with a right calf strain sustained on April 24 while jogging between bases. As of mid-May, he has not yet progressed to running and remains on the injured list with no clear timeline for return. Manager Aaron Boone indicated the injury is "not any worse" per MRI comparison, but there is insufficient progress to advance rehabilitation. The Yankees are being cautious given Gomes' history of soft-tissue leg injuries and his age (36). Best case scenario suggests a mid-May return, though this could easily be delayed further.
Strengths
- MRI shows injury is 'not any worse'
- Low-grade calf strain classification
