The Dodgers on Friday claimed Yoendrys Gómez off waivers from the Yankees, adding another right-hander into the bullpen mix.

Gómez, who was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Tuesday, is out of options, having used option years in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Which means he’ll be on the active roster once he arrives in Los Angeles.

In six relief appearances with New York this season, Gómez had a 2.70 ERA in 10 innings with nine walks and five strikeouts. The 25-year-old pitched in the majors in parts of three seasons since 2023, totaling a 3.09 ERA and 5.47 FIP in 12 games, with 19 strikeouts and 16 walks in 23⅓ innings.

Gómez has been a starter in the minors, and had a 3.67 ERA last year in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 23 games, including 21 starts, with 93 strikeouts (27-percent strikeout rate) and 39 walks in 83⅓ innings.

In the majors, Gómez has primarily relied on his fastball (43.8 percent of his pitches) and sweeper (27.6 percent), with his curveball mixed in 15 percent of the time. He has also used his changeup and slider, which was touched upon by Sam Chapman at Pinstripe Alley in March:

Gómez features a five-pitch mix, working in a four-seamer, three different breaking balls as recognized by Statcast, and a changeup. While he is not necessarily a flamethrower, nor has he generated a ton of whiffs at the big league level, he does seem to get excellent extension, and has maintained more impressive swing-and-miss rates across longer stretches in the minor leagues.
