Gomes remains out of lineup with neck stiffness

Yan Gomes was out of the Indians’ starting lineup for the second day in a row due to neck stiffness on Sunday, giving first-year man Roberto Perez the starting nod at catcher in his place. Cleveland manager Terry Francona revealed that Gomes began experiencing discomfort on Friday, when he was removed in the sixth inning of the Tribe’s blowout 12-2 win over the Rangers.
