Carlos Gomez left Thursday's game with lower back tightness.

It was just a precautionary removal, as Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Gomez would have remained in the game if it was the regular season. The outfielder should return in a day or two.

Brewers signed OF Carlos Gomez to a three-year, $24 million contract extension.

It was originally reported to be a four-year deal, but Gomez is already locked in for $4.3 million in 2013 -- his final season of arbitration. This new extension ultimately buys out the center fielder's first three years of free agency. Gomez, 27, will make $7 million in 2014, $8 million in 2015 and $9 million in 2016. Those aren't awful wages for a guy who had 19 homers and 37 stolen bases in 2012, and who boasts excellent defensive range in center field.

According to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the Brewers have reached agreement on a four-year contract extension with outfielder Carlos Gomez.

Haudricourt says the deal, which covers Gomez's first four years of free agency, will be worth "about $27.5 million." That's not a bad amount of money if Gomez can produce like he did in 2012, but he currently owns a troubling .247/.294/.379 career batting line. Gomez will earn $4.3 million in 2013 -- his final year of arbitration.

Gomez also drew a walk. The 27-year-old former top prospect flashed major fantasy potential in 2012, slugging 19 homers and stealing 37 bases. He should serve as an excellent second or third outfielder again in 2013.
