CLEVELAND: Indians manager Terry Francona confirmed on Saturday what was essentially already known, that catcher Yan Gomes’ season has likely reached its conclusion after he sustained a nondisplaced fracture of his right wrist when he was struck with a pitch on Wednesday in Akron.
Francona said Gomes is likely looking at a rehab of six to eight weeks but will not need surgery.
“There’s a little more clarity,” Francona said. “I think the expectation that he would play [again] would be really unfair to Gomer. If something miraculous happens to happen, good. But, chances are his season’s over.
