New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that catcher Jose Trevino (quadriceps) is set to return from the 10-day injured list on Friday, but Austin Wells will continue to get the bulk of the playing time behind the dish. Trevino recently started a minor-league rehab assignment and didn't have any setbacks with a Grade 2 left-quadriceps strain that has kept him out of action in the Bronx since the middle of July. The 31-year-old veteran backstop went 2-for-8 with Double-A Somerset in three rehab games and will return to a .244/.303/.411 slash line when he rejoins the Yankees this weekend. Trevino has added eight home runs and 27 RBI in his 59 games in his third year in New York, but his fantasy appeal is limited to deep two-catcher leagues while he works behind Wells.
New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (quadriceps) will start a minor-league rehab assignment on Sunday. Trevino will start playing in minor-league games and could be ready to rejoin the Yankees sometime late next week/weekend. The 31-year-old veteran backstop has been sidelined for four weeks due to a Grade 2 left-quadriceps strain. With Trevino out, the Yankees have been rolling with a catching combination of Austin Wells (the starter) and Carlos Narvaez backing him up. Wells has been the more intriguing fantasy option in the Bronx, but Trevino hasn't been a slouch with a .244 average (41-for-168) with eight home runs and 27 runs driven in over 186 trips to the plate. When Trevino is given the green light to come off the 10-day injured list, Narvaez will become expendable.
New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (quad) is close to returning to major-league action, but he is first scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment starting either on Sunday or Tuesday, according to manager Aaron Boone. It's not yet known which affiliate Trevino will play for. Trevino has been on the injured list since July 14 due to a Grade 2 left quad strain on July 14, but he should be back behind the dish for the Yankees before the end of August. At the time of the injury, the 31-year-old backstop was hitting .244 (41-for-188) with eight home runs and 27 RBI in 60 games while platooning with the lefty-hitting Austin Wells, who has been batting cleanup and performing well in New York's lineup with regularity since late July. In all likelihood, Trevino is going to find himself on the wrong side of a platoon in the Bronx when he returns from the IL.
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.
