New York Yankees relief pitcher Lou Trivino (elbow) is in the middle of a three- to four-week shutdown because of inflammation after right-elbow surgery. Manager Aaron Boone said that Trivino developed inflammation in his right elbow in late April and was shut down at that time. The 32-year-old had Tommy John surgery on May 3 of 2023 and has now experienced a setback. The good news is he's only dealing with inflammation, so it's not too big of a setback for the right-hander. As long as he doesn't have any more setbacks with his elbow this year, Trivino will most likely be working towards a return to New York's bullpen around the All-Star break this summer. Trivino split the 2022 season with the A's and Yankees, posting a 4.53 ERA, a 1.64 WHIP, 11 saves, 24 walks and 67 strikeouts in 53 2/3 relief innings.
Lou Trivino Hopes To Return In "Middle Of The Season"
New York Yankees right-hander Lou Trivino (elbow), who re-signed with the club on Wednesday, said that he hopes to be back "at some point in the middle of the season" after undergoing Tommy John surgery to fix a torn UCL last May. Trivino has already been throwing bullpen sessions and is feeling good. The 32-year-old's deal with the Yankees includes an option for the 2025 season. He started last year with the Oakland Athletics before finishing with the Yankees, going a combined 2-8 with a 4.53 ERA (3.63 FIP), a 1.64 WHIP, 11 saves, 24 walks and 67 strikeouts in 53 2/3 innings pitched. Ten of his 11 saves came in Oakland, but he was better overall with the Yankees with a 1.66 ERA in 21 2/3 innings pitched. Trivino is off the fantasy radar.
The New York Yankees have re-signed right-handed reliever Lou Trivino to a one-year deal with a club option for the 2025 season. According to Jon Morosi of MLB.com, the Yankees will pay Trivino $1.5 million this year, and his option is worth an additional $5 million. It should be noted that Trivino underwent Tommy John surgery last summer and isn't expected to be ready for Opening Day. Therefore, this deal allows the Yankees to have a familiar face return to their bullpen for the back half of the year while simultaneously rehabbing and evaluating him for 2025.
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced on Tuesday that relief pitcher Lou Trivino (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery on Wednesday. Trivino will require right-elbow reconstruction and will miss the rest of this season and likely the first half of next season after recently suffering a setback with his right elbow. There's a good chance that the 31-year-old veteran will be non-tendered by the Yankees this offseason to become a free agent. It's another injury blow for a banged-up Yankees team early in the season. Trivino hadn't made an appearance for New York this year after posting a 1.66 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and a save in his 25 relief appearances in the Bronx at the tail end of 2022. He can obviously be dropped by any fantasy managers that were holding onto him in deep holds leagues.
New York Yankees righty Lou Trivino (elbow) was in the middle of live batting practice when he experienced elbow discomfort and will be shut down for the time being, according to MLB.com. Manager Aaron Boone told reporters that he may need a second opinion. Trivino is trying to make his way back from a ligament strain in his right elbow that has kept him off the field for all of 2023. With this setback, fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see the 31-year-old for a while. The news doesn't have much of an effect on fantasy baseball, as Trivino wasn't going to factor into many save opportunities and pitched to a 4.53 ERA with a 1.64 WHIP in 2022.
New York Yankees relief pitcher Lou Trivino (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Saturday, April 8, that went well, according to manager Aaron Boone. "With the nature of his injury, he was throwing quicker, but also a slower play," Boone said. "He's thrown a couple of 'pens now, so he's doing pretty well." Trivino was able to resume his throwing program on March 13 but was placed on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to March 27) on March 30. The 31-year-old right-hander is dealing with a ligament strain in his right elbow and is expected to miss most, if not all, of April. The former Oakland Athletics closer won't see many save chances in New York, but he could be valuable as a high-leverage setup man in fantasy leagues that count holds.
New York Yankees relief pitcher Lou Trivino (elbow) will open the 2023 season on the injured list with what general manager Brian Cashman called a "mild elbow ligament sprain." It's the first time that Trivino will go on the injured list in his career with an arm-related injury. Cashman is hoping the team will get Trivino back by May. In addition to Trivino, reliever Tommy Kahnle (biceps) will also open on the IL, leaving the Yankees bullpen a bit thin to open the year. The 31-year-old Trivino was stingy upon being acquired from the A's last year in a trade, and he can be useful in holds leagues in a setup role for the Yankees when he's healthy.
Tommy Kahnle, Lou Trivino To Begin On Injured List
New York Yankees relief pitchers Tommy Kahnle (biceps) and Lou Trivino (elbow) will begin the 2023 season on the injured list, according to general manager Brian Cashman. Kahnle is dealing with biceps tendinitis at camp, which is also something he dealt with in 2018. The 33-year-old right-hander could end up missing the first month of the season as a result. Trivino will open the year on the shelf with a right elbow strain, and it's expected to sideline him for at least the first month of the 2023 season. The 31-year-old should be a key piece in New York's bullpen once he's healthy after he posted a 1.66 ERA in 25 relief outings for the Bombers last year after being acquired in a trade.
New York Yankees relief pitcher Lou Trivino picked up his 11th save of the season in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jays. Trivino entered the game up by three with one out in the eighth inning and runners on first and second. He got George Springer to ground into a double play and stayed on to pitch the ninth. He got the first two hitters out on a strikeout and a groundout, allowed a single, and got the final out on another groundout. Manager Aaron Boone recently stated that the Yankees will use a committee for save situations for the rest of the season. Trivino does have closer experience, but the lack of a clear role and his 4.61 ERA makes him untrustable this late in the season.
New York Yankees right-handed reliever Lou Trivino (back) is dealing with back spasms, manager Aaron Boone said on Wednesday. Trivino said it's something he deals with about once a year, and it usually takes two or three days to clear up. With that said, it's unlikely that he'll be available out of the bullpen in the series finale against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday, but he could pitch again at some point this weekend against the Tampa Bay Rays. Trivino has been excellent in 15 relief appearances since being acquired from the Oakland Athletics, allowing only an earned run on 10 hits while walking seven and striking out 12 in 13 1/3 innings.
