RHP Jeanmar Gomez will throw a bullpen session Thursday in Arlington as he attempts to return from a right elbow impingement. It'll be the first bullpen for Gomez since he went on the disabled list May 9. Gomez had a 7.94 ERA and one save before the injury.

RHP Jeanmar Gomez (right elbow impingement) is due to come off the disabled list early this week in Texas. "We don't know that for sure," manager Pete Mackanin said Sunday. "He is going to meet us in Texas and we will know more from there." Gomez went on the DL May 9, retroactive to May 6.

RHP Jeanmar Gomez (right elbow impingement) is due to come off the disabled list next week in Texas. Gomez went on the DL May 9, retroactive to May 6. "We will see how he is," manager Pete Mackanin said Friday.

RHP Jeanmar Gomez was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday, retroactive to May 6, with right elbow impingement. Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said Gomez felt something in his elbow when he pitched two innings in Chicago on May 4, his last appearance.

RHP Jeanmar Gomez was demoted as the Phillies' closer before Monday's game."He knows he has some issues mechanically. I just told him that, 'I want to get you out of that pressure cooker and give you a chance to get where you were the first four months of (last) season," Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin said. Gomez allowed a three-run home run in a blown save during the Phillies' 4-3 walk-off win over the Washington Nationals on Sunday. After saving 37 games last season -- and seeing his ERA soar from 2.97 to 4.85 in September -- Gomez has allowed two homers, five hits and five earned runs over three innings this season. He is 1-for-2 in save opportunities.

RHP Jeanmar Gomez blew his first save of the season on Sunday, giving up a game-tying, two-out, three-run home run to Ryan Zimmerman in a game the Phillies eventually won 4-3. It's the second homer Gomez has allowed in three outings this season, and his ERA is currently at 15.00 after Sunday afternoon. Phillies manager Pete Mackanin might not be able to leave Gomez in the closer's role much longer. "We'll see," he said. "We're gonna discuss what we have to do what's best for the team. I'm considering it."

RHP Jeanmar Gomez earned the save on Monday, but not without allowing a two-run, opposite field home run to Scooter Gennett to make it a one-run game after taking over in the ninth with the Phillies up by three. Manager Pete Mackanin had a couple of pitchers warming just in case. "He's not getting the ball down the way he did when he was successful," Mackanin said. "I want to make sure he gets opportunities, but I don't want games to slip away. He's earned the right to have the opportunity to be the closer. But, just because he's the closer doesn't mean he can't be taken out if he's getting the ball up."

RHP Jeanmar Gomez will begin the season as Philadelphia's closer, but it remains to be seen how strong a hold he'll have on that. With the talented Hector Neris behind him and some veteran depth, manager Pete Mackanin is likely to have Gomez -- who notched 37 saves last year -- on a tight leash.

RHP Jeanmar Gomez got just one out in the eighth inning while giving up four runs against the Braves on Thursday, taking the loss. He allowed three hits, walked two (one intentionally) and hit a batter. Gomez has 37 saves, but has allowed at least one run in six of his past seven appearances, jumping his ERA to 4.85.

RHP Jeanmar Gomez remains the Phillies' closer -- sort of. Manager Pete Mackanin said Friday afternoon that he was not lifting the struggling Gomez from his role but that he would be giving him a mental break and assign the Phillies' next save chance to someone else. Gomez ranks fifth in the National League with 37 saves but has struggled badly in September, during which he is 0-1 with a 16.20 ERA while converting just three of five save opportunities. He suffered his latest blown save Thursday night, when he recorded just one out while giving up a game-tying two-run homer to Mets 3B Jose Reyes in the ninth inning of the Phillies' 9-8, 11-inning loss. Gomez is 3-4 with a 4.28 ERA in 68 games this season.

RHP Jeanmar Gomez may have lost his grip on his job as closer Thursday night, when he recorded just one out and was pulled after giving up a game-tying two-run homer to Mets 3B Jose Reyes in the ninth inning of the Phillies' 9-8, 11-inning loss. It was the second blown save in the last four outings for Gomez, who has been charged with eight runs in just 1 2/3 innings in that span. He has given up a run in five of 10 appearances in September, during which he's gone 0-1 with a 16.20 ERA as his overall ERA has risen from 2.97 to a season-high 4.28. Manager Pete Mackanin, who said Wednesday he was considering a change at closer, said Thursday night that he would likely decide on Friday whether or not to replace Gomez in the role. Gomez, who entered this season with just one major league save, is 3-4 with 37 saves, the fifth most in the National League.

RHP Jeanmar Gomez is the first Phillies reliever to allow at least four hits and four earned runs without recording an out since Brad Lidge on July 25, 2008, also against the Braves. Friday night was the first time Gomez had allowed a run in a non-save situation since June 23.

RHP Jeanmar Gomez pitched out of a second-and-third, one-out jam in the ninth against Colorado on Saturday night to earn his 30th save of the season. He is the 11th Phillies pitcher to record that many, and the first since Jonathan Papelbon in 2014. Gomez ranks fifth among NL relievers in saves and save percentage, having converted 30 of 33. "It's very impressive in the respect he was the last choice to be our closer," manager Pete Mackanin said. "We gave everybody an opportunity (in spring training). He stayed with it and did a good job."

RHP Jeanmar Gomez (paternity list) will be rejoining the Phillies on Friday. The team cleared a roster spot for him by optioning LHP Elvis Araujo to Triple-A Lehigh Valley after the Thursday game.

RHP Jeanmar Gomez, whose 27 saves entering Wednesday's games were tied for fifth in the National League, went on paternity leave. Manager Pete Mackanin said Gomez's wife was expected to be induced later in the day, and the reliever should be available for Thursday's game against the Giants.

RHP Jeanmar Gomez went on paternity leave Wednesday. The reliever should be available for Thursday's game against the Giants.

RHP Jeanmar Gomez pitched a scoreless inning in relief against the Marlins on Tuesday, a day after he blew his third save in 28 opportunities. "Last night, that's one of the few times I've seen Jeanmar take so much time between pitches, obviously fretting about the whole situation instead of getting up there (on the mound)," manager Pete Mackanin said before Tuesday's game. "You've got three pitches. Look for one you want to throw, and show the hitter that you know exactly what you're doing, rather than fumbling around, making it look like you're nervous."

RHP Jeanmar Gomez's 24 saves before the All-Star break are tied for the most in club history with Steve Bedrosian (1987) and Jose Mesa (2001).
