Gomes was reassigned to minor league camp Friday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.
Gomes started the spring strong, but his last two appearances were disasters, in particular his four-walk appearance Thursday.

Cubs' Brandon Gomes: Gives up four runs to Reds
Gomes gave up four runs in one inning against the Reds on Tuesday.
Gomes came into the game with a 0.00 in six spring appearances. Unfortunately, Tuesday's performance will give the Cubs a good reason to send him down to the minors. Expect him to be in the next round of cuts.

Cubs' Brandon Gomes: Five scoreless innings this spring
Gomes threw another scoreless inning Tuesday, his fifth consecutive scoreless appearance this spring.
Gomes is a non-roster invitee on a deep team, so even a 0.00 ERA is likely not going to earn him a spot on the roster, but he's pitching well enough to stick around in the organization this year. Expect him to pitch for Triple-A Iowa this year.

Cubs' Brandon Gomes: Receives invite to major league spring training
Gomes has received an invitation to the Cubs' spring training.
Gomes posted a 4.27 ERA in 63 appearances for Tampa Bay in 2015 primarily as a middle reliever in low-pressure situations. The 31-year-old will have the opportunity to make an impression on the Cubs' organization in spring training, but based on his career numbers and trends it is unlikely that he makes the roster out of camp.

Cubs' Brandon Gomes: Signs with Cubs
Gomes agreed to a minor league deal with the Cubs on Wednesday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
Gomes had previously been in Tampa Bay, where he worked to a 4.27 ERA with a 44:15 K:BB ratio in 59 innings last season. He'll serve as bullpen depth within the organization but it doesn't appear as though he'll start the year in the majors.

Rays' Brandon Gomes: Outrighted to Triple-A
Gomes was outrighted to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday.
The 31-year-old made 62 appearances for Tampa Bay last season, posting a 1.19 WHIP and a swinging-strike rate over 11 percent, but it was not enough to maintain his spot at last week's Rule 5 roster deadline. Gomes could still attend spring training as a non-roster invitee, but he figures to have to bide his time at Durham to start the year.

Rays' Brandon Gomes: Designated for assignment
Gomes was designated for assignment on Friday, the Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin reports.
The Rays needed to clear space on the 40-man roster, so Gomes may not have much of a future with the big league club in Tampa Bay. Look for the veteran reliever to continue to bounce back and forth between the minors and majors, pitching primarily in low-leverage situations.
