Yan Gomes out for Cleveland on Monday

Cleveland Indians catcher Yan Gomes is not in the lineup on Monday against the Texas Rangers.

What It Means:

Roberto Perez is behind the plate and will hit eighth against lefty Cole Hamels. It appears to be a routine day off for Gomes, who is coming off an ugly 0-for-4 performance on Sunday with 3 strikeouts.

Our models project Gomes to post a .215 average with 6 home runs and 22 RBI over 197 plate appearances remaining this season.
