Yankees' Jose Trevino: Will start against most lefties
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Trevino will start against "most" left-handers moving forward, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
It looks to be a natural platoon situation at catcher, with Austin Wells handling the starts against right-handers. Boone did add that Wells will see the occasional start versus lefties, including likely being in the lineup Wednesday against a southpaw. Trevino is in Tuesday's lineup against Guardians lefty Matthew Boyd.

Yankees' Jose Trevino: Swipes bag in return
Rotowire
Trevino went 1-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and a walk in Friday's 3-0 victory versus the Tigers.
Trevino was activated from the injured list during New York's off day Thursday after missing over a month due to a quad injury. The backstop was given a start Friday and walked in his first plate appearance, and he followed the free pass with a surprising steal of second base. It was his first theft since 2022 and just his fourth over seven big-league campaigns. Trevino will likely work in a backup role behind Austin Wells now that he is back in action.

Yankees' Jose Trevino: Ahead of schedule
Rotowire
Trevino (quadriceps) did some running and played catch Thursday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Trevino sustained a Grade 2 strain in his left hamstring July 12, but he has been progressing well since. He played catch with manager Aaron Boone on Thursday and has been able to do some light running. Still, Trevino isn't expected to be in action any time soon. Austin Wells should continue to handle most of the Yankees' catching duties.

Yankees' Jose Trevino: Nursing Grade 2 quad strain
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Trevino is going to miss "some time" after the catcher was diagnosed with a Grade 2 quadricep strain, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.
Trevino was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with the quad strain, but the Yankees didn't know the severity of the injury until he was sent in for an MRI. Boone didn't offer up a precise timeline for Trevino's return, but the 31-year-old backstop looks safe to rule out for multiple weeks, if not months. Trevino's absence should clear the way for Austin Wells to serve as the Yankees' clear No. 1 catcher, though the right-handed-hitting Carlos Narvaez may spell the lefty-hitting Wells when the Yankees face left-handed pitchers.

Trevino suffered a quadriceps injury during Friday's win over the Orioles, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Trevino was replaced behind the dish in the ninth inning after scoring a run in the top of the frame, and he was later seen limping out of the dugout during a bench-clearing scrum between the two teams.

Yankees' Jose Trevino: Goes deep Friday
Rotowire
Trevino went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-1 win against Boston on Friday.
Trevino homered in his final at-bat of the contest, taking Red Sox reliever Chase Anderson deep to left field. The long ball was the catcher's second in his past two starts and his seventh overall this season, putting him well on pace to surpass the career-best mark of 11 that he established in 2022. Austin Wells entered the campaign as the slight favorite for primary catching duties with New York, but Trevino has seized that role with a strong season at the plate, as he's complemented his homer total with 18 runs, 24 RBI and a .271/.319/.434 slash line through 142 plate appearances.

Though Wells has picked up the pace at the plate over the past month, his .620 OPS on the campaign still sits more than 100 points behind Trevino's mark.
