  Rotowire May 28, 2024

  Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in an interview on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Trevino will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Angels.

Wells also holds a slight edge on playing time overall this season, with 30 starts to Trevino's 26 starts.

  Rotowire Apr 29, 2024

  Trevino is not in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup against Baltimore. Trevino had a big game in New York's 15-5 rout of the Brewers on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a run and three RBI. However, he's ceding the start behind the plate to Austin Wells on Monday. Trevino has put up far better offensive numbers this season, but Wells continues to get slightly more playing time -- over New York's past eight games, Wells has started behind the plate on five occasions while Trevino has gotten three starts.

• Yankees' Jose Trevino: Goes deep for team's lone run

  Rotowire Apr 26, 2024

  Trevino went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in a loss to the Athletics. Trevino plated an early run for New York with his solo blast in the second inning, but the team's offense did not score again. Still, the homer continued a strong recent stretch of offense by the backstop, as he's built an eight-game hitting streak during which he's batting .423/.464/.654. The hot span hasn't moved Trevino out of a timeshare behind the plate, however -- both he and Austin Wells have played three games over New York's past six contests.

• Yankees' Jose Trevino: Slated for Opening Day start

  Rotowire Mar 27, 2024

  Trevino will start behind the plate against the Astros on Thursday, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports. While some fantasy managers are excited about the offensive upside of Austin Wells, it will be Trevino behind the plate for the opener in Houston. Trevino is lauded for his work with the pitching staff, and that appears to have given him a slight leg up to begin the season, though it projects to be a fairly even playing-time split in the end with the 24-year-old Wells seeing a good share of the starts against righties. Trevino will be looking for his first career hit against Thursday's starter for the Astros, Framber Valdez (0-for-9 lifetime against the lefty).

  Rotowire Mar 10, 2024

  Trevino (calf) is starting behind the plate and batting eighth in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Recordreports. The 31-year-old has been slowed by a calf strain during spring training but played in a minor-league intrasquad game Saturday and will make his spring debut Sunday. Trevino should ramp up his workload over the next couple weeks and is expected to split catching duties with Austin Wells this season.

• Yankees' Jose Trevino: Takes live at-bats

  Rotowire Mar 9, 2024

  Trevino (calf) unofficially went 3-for-5 with a home run in a minor-league intrasquad game Saturday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports. Trevino suffered a calf strain early in camp and hasn't yet been able to get into any major-league exhibition games. However, he said after Saturday's live at-bats that he's "comfortable and confident" with his progress, and he's scheduled to play in a Grapefruit League contest with the big-league squad Sunday. Assuming that goes well, Trevino should be able to ramp up in time to be ready for the start of the regular season, when he's expected to split catching duties with Austin Wells.

  Rotowire Feb 14, 2024

  Manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Trevino recently suffered a calf strain and won't be ready for the start of spring training games next weekend, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports. Trevino said in early February he would enter spring training with no limitations from the wrist surgery he underwent in July, but he then suffered the calf injury within the past couple weeks. The new injury is believed to be a minor issue, with Boone also saying the veteran backstop should be ready for Opening Day, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.

• Yankees' Jose Trevino: No limitations in spring training

  Rotowire Feb 5, 2024

  Trevino (wrist) said Monday that he will not have any limitations in spring training, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Trevino -- who is more than six months removed from right wrist surgery -- implied that he's able to perform all baseball-related activities without issue. The veteran catcher will enter spring training seemingly behind youngster Austin Wells on the Yankees' catching depth chart, but assuming he's fully healthy, Trevino should still see plenty of work behind the plate in 2024.
