Indians’ Gomes suffers injury

Cleveland catcher Yan Gomes was carted off the field during the fifth inning of Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Twins because of a right shoulder injury.

Running out a grounder to third base, Gomes stepped awkwardly on first base as he tried to avoid the swipe tag of first baseman Kennys Vargas, who was pulled off the bag on the throw from Eduardo Nunez. Gomes landed on his shoulder as he tumbled to the ground.

Gomes’ right arm was put in a sling before he gingerly walked to a cart and left the field.

He had ended a hitless streak at 27 at-bats with a third-inning double that went off the foot of starter Kyle Gibson and trickled into the outfield through a hole at shortstop.

Etc.

Oakland left-hander Rich Hill, the subject of trade speculation, left the game against Toronto after five pitches because of a blister on a finger.

The Cincinnati Reds optioned pitcher John Lamb to triple-A Louisville and recalled outfielder Kyle Waldrop. Lamb is 1-7 with a 6.43 earned-run average. He gave up nine runs in two innings of the Reds’ 9-1 loss to Milwaukee on Saturday. Waldrop hit .313 in nine games in his previous two stints with Cincinnati.
