Indians manager Terry Francona is hopeful that Yan Gomes (hamstring) will be able to return to game action this weekend.

Gomes hasn't played since he tweaked his right hamstring last Friday while legging out a double. Barring any setbacks, he should have enough time to get ready for Opening Day, but he's likely on the outside looking in for a roster spot.

Yan Gomes had a pair of hits, including an RBI single, as the Blue Jays topped the Orioles 4-0 on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old rookie has struggled in limited action this season, hitting just .196/.252/.337 with three homers and 12 RBI in 92 at-bats. Even with his struggles, he has a strong chance of making next season's roster as a utility player due to his ability to play multiple positions.

Yan Gomes - C - Indians

Yan Gomes will get 2-3 starts at catcher per week while J.P Arencibia recovers from a fractured hand.

That might give Gomes slightly more value in AL-only fantasy leagues. He has a .730 OPS, three home runs and nine RBI over the first 19 games of his MLB career. Jeff Mathis will start at catcher for the Blue Jays.

Blue Jays recalled INF Yan Gomes from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Gomes has hit just .211 with a .273 OBP in 17 games this season for Toronto, but he has some rather gaudy minor league numbers and could have fantasy value in AL-only leagues if he gets enough playing time. Brett Lawrie is currently day-to-day with a calf contusion.
