Austin Wells is on the bench Tuesday for the third time in four games since Jose Trevino was activated.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone called Wells the starter when Trevino was activated last week, but it seems Wells is only the starter when the Yankees are facing a righty and Gerrit Cole isn’t pitching. They’re facing a lefty tonight, so including Monday’s off day, Wells will have started just once in five days. The Yankees face another lefty Wednesday and then have Cole starting Thursday, so we’ll see how this works out.
