Gomez, 30, will give Texas an outfield option alongside Ian Desmond and Nomar Mazara in the wake of the club losing Shin-Soo Choo to a fractured forearm. The club has been utilizing Jurickson Profar in left field, but may turn to Gomez as a more established option at the position.

Chicago placed Hector Rondon and John Lackey on the disabled list.

Philadelphia will be without Zach Eflin for the remainder of the year after he underwent season-ending surgery Friday.
