New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino will take a seat in favor of Austin Wells for the second straight day on Thursday against the visiting Houston Astros. Wells is catching right-hander Marcus Stroman and will hit eighth in the batting order against Astros right-hander Ronel Blanco. Wells will be making his 21st start of the season, while Trevino has started 18 games for the Yankees, so it's basically been a pretty even timeshare behind the dish in the Bronx for the two. The 31-year-old Trevino has been better offensively, hitting .281 (18-for-64) with two homers and 11 RBI, while Wells enters Thursday's game slashing just .200/.333/.317 with a homer and three RBI in 60 at-bats. Those setting DFS lineups on Thursday should look elsewhere at the catching position than Wells.
New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino made some noise with his bat during Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics. He went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the loss to the A's. The solo blast by Trevino was the only run the Yankees could put on the board during Thursday's loss. Trevino has been decent, slashing .273/.347/.756 with two homers and eight RBI across 44 plate appearances.
New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (calf) is scheduled to return to the lineup on Sunday, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. The veteran backstop has been sidelined for most of Spring Training with a calf injury he suffered after recovering from wrist surgery. The 31-year-old had a strong season defensively last year but took a step back at the plate, slashing just .210/.257/.312 with a 4.8 BB%, 13.1 K%, and 58 wRC+. Heading into 2024, he'll presumably split time with catching prospect Austin Wells, who is ready for a full year in the majors after playing 19 games at the big-league level last year. Trevino hits lefties well whereas Wells performs better against righties, so it's easy to see how a platoon situation could unfold behind the dish.
Jose Trevino To Miss A Couple Weeks Of Spring Training
New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino won't be available for the first couple weeks of spring training games due to a calf strain, according to Yankees skipper Aaron Boone. The 31-year-old underwent season-ending wrist surgery after appearing in just 55 games in the 2023 season but wasn't expected to be limited to begin the spring prior to his new calf issue. It was a disastrous, injury-shortened season for Trevino at the plate in 2023 as he hit just .210 with four home runs and a .569 OPS across 168 trips to the plate. However, his highly-rated defense will keep him in the catching picture in the Bronx, especially with catcher Kyle Higashioka being traded to the Padres this winter. Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on the situation as rookie Austin Wells could receive additional playing time if Trevino is sidelined.
New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (wrist) said on Monday that he won't be facing any limitations when spring training starts. Trevino is now more than six months removed from surgery on his right wrist and should be ready to rock for the start of the 2024 season, barring any setbacks during spring training. The 31-year-old veteran backstop will most likely be splitting playing time behind the dish in the Bronx in 2024 with Austin Wells, which will limit his fantasy appeal. Trevino was the Yankees' primary catcher in 2022 and was a first-time All-Star, but he played in only 55 games in 2023 due to his wrist injury and hit .210 (33-for-157) with four home runs and 15 RBI before getting hurt. At best, Trevino will be an option for fantasy managers in two-catcher leagues, and he's a defense-first player.
New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (wrist), who was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a right-wrist tear, will need season-ending surgery. Trevino said his wrist had been an issue dating back to spring training. He thought he could play through the pain, but he's reached the point where he needs to get it fixed. Trevino expects to be ready for spring training next year. In a corresponding move, the Yankees recalled catcher Ben Rortvedt from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Trevino will finish the year hitting just .210 with four home runs, 15 RBI and 15 runs scored in 157 at-bats. Kyle Higashioka will remain New York's primary backstop, with Rortvedt serving as his backup moving forward.
New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 30-year-old catcher. Trevino was an All-Star in 2022, but has taken a step back this season. He's slashing .216/.255/.306 with three home runs and 13 RBI in 41 games. Kyle Higashioka will be behind the plate and bat eighth versus left-hander JP Sears.
The New York Yankees reinstated catcher Jose Trevino (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned catcher Ben Rortvedt to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Trevino was immediately back in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday, doing the catching and hitting eighth against Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert. The 30-year-old catcher will split playing time behind the dish moving forward with Kyle Higashioka. Trevino was a first-time All-Star in 2022, but he is returning to a .219 batting average (21-for-96) with two doubles, three home runs, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored in 102 trips to the plate. He's really only worth rostering in two-catcher leagues.
New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (hamstring) could return to the club before Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners, according to MLB.com. The 30-year-old has been on the shelf since May 18 after suffering a hamstring strain on May 17. Before going down, Trevino was slashing .219/.265/.333 with three homers, 11 runs, and 11 RBI over 30 contests and should only be rostered in two-catcher formats. Fantasy managers should expect Kyle Higashioka to lose the starting backstop role, so with his .214 average and .648 OPS, he can be dropped everywhere.
New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (hamstring) will travel with the team to Seattle early next week, and he's in play to be activated from the injured list on Tuesday. Trevino has been sidelined since May 17 with a left-hamstring strain, but he's nearing a return to the team's active roster. When he returns, he'll continue to split playing time behind the dish in the Bronx with Kyle Higashioka. Before his injury, the 30-year-old veteran backstop was hitting just .219 (21-for-96) with two doubles, three home runs, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored in 102 plate appearances over 30 games played. Trevino was a first-time All-Star in 2022, when he hit .248/.283/.388 with 11 homers and 43 RBI in 115 games played.
