CHICAGO – The Indians are expected to activate catcher Yan Gomes the weekend when Detroit comes to Progressive Field for what could be the start of a critical seven-game home and away series in the final 17 games of the regular season.
Gomes has been on a rehab assignment in the minors recovering from a separated right shoulder suffered in July against the Twins at Target Field.
"I think he's on track to join us when he's eligible," said manager Terry Francona. "Again, he won't be able to catch everyday, but having him back will be really nice.
