Yan Gomes - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Goes deep Sunday Gomes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Padres.

Impact Gomes is now up to seven home runs to go with a .271 batting average and .752 OPS. The veteran backstop had eight home runs all of last season and batted .235 with a .625 OPS. That makes the early season production a bit unexpected, but fantasy managers in deeper leagues can continue to plug in Gomes while he's hot.
