Gomes is being evaluated for a head injury after leaving Monday's game against the Nationals, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gomes was hit in the helmet on the backswing in the first inning. The backstop should be considered day-to-day for now with Tucker Barnhart handling catching duties while Gomes is out.

EDGE Analysis

Gomes was hit in the helmet in the bottom of the first on the backswing of Jeimer Candelario. Tucker Barnhardt has replaced Gomes behind the plate.

Gomes is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Tucker Barnhart started behind the plate Saturday, but Gomes will bookend the series with starts on Friday and Sunday. Gomes has an .881 OPS so far while Barnhart is at just .442, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the former continue to earn a larger share of playing time moving forward.

Gomes went 4-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Gomes connected for a two-run home run in the second inning, his fifth of the season, then added an RBI single in the eighth. The big game pushed his average up to .309 to go along with a strong .898 OPS. Meanwhile, Tucker Barnhart is batting only .200 with a .450 OPS. At this rate, Gomes could secure a larger share of the playing time behind the plate, though both catchers will continue to see the field with Gomes looking like the preferred option against lefties.

Gomes went 2-for-4 with one homer, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Gomes took Clayton Kershaw deep for a home run in the bottom of the fifth for his fourth long ball in just 12 games this season. The veteran catcher has been producing a .191 ISO so far this season, a mark that would be Gomes' best since 2014. He is slashing .234/.245/.426.

Gomes is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Gomes sat out Saturday and is seeing his playing time against righties shrink, but he'll return to the lineup for Sunday's matchup against southpaw Clayton Kershaw. Tucker Barnhart heads to the bench to make room for Gomes. The two veterans should continue to split playing time behind the plate.

Gomes will sit Saturday against the Dodgers, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gomes will be on the bench against Dustin May, meaning he's now sat against the last four righties the Cubs have faced. He was starting against righties early in the year, but it's possible he could continue to find himself primarily starting against southpaws going forward. Gomes' .671 OPS in 12 games isn't particularly good, though it's better than Saturday's catcher Tucker Barnhart's .486 OPS.

Gomes isn't starting Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gomes will get a second consecutive day of rest Thursday after going 3-for-12 with two RBI in his last three games. Tucker Barnhart will take over behind the dish and bat ninth.

Gomes will sit Wednesday versus the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Gomes will take a seat after he went 2-for-8 with two RBI and a run scored over the first two games of the series. Tucker Barnhart will take over behind the plate and bat ninth as the Cubs go for the sweep against Oakland.

Gomes went 3-for-4 with two home runs, two RBI, three runs scored and one stolen base in Friday's victory over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Gomes is now slugging .533 on the season after this powerful performance. While the 35-year-old veteran has never been an exceptional home run hitter (his career high is 21), he could help the Cubs' offense be more dynamic if he stays hot. The catcher will need to prove that this wasn't a mirage, however, as he hasn't hit double-digit homers in a season since 2021, when he hit 14 between the Nationals and the Athletics.
