Jose

Trevino

The Yankees will run out the exact same lineup except for Trevino starting for Austin Wells, who has gone just 4-for-41 this postseason with a 41 percent strikeout rate. Trevino has had issues controlling the running game this season, so that will be something to keep an eye on tonight.

It’ll be the first action for Trevino since the final day of the regular season. Berti is making his third start of the postseason but first since Rizzo was activated for the ALCS. The lineup: 2B Gleyber Torres, RF Juan Soto, CF Aaron Judge, DH Giancarlo Stanton, 3B Jazz Chisholm Jr., 1B Berti, SS Anthony Volpe, LF Alex Verdugo, C Trevino.

Wells has a bruise on his hand, and it will keep the backstop from playing in Wednesday’s tilt against Texas. Jose Trevino will handle catching duties and hit ninth in Wells’ absence.

The positive news here is that X-rays came back negative. Wells is out of the lineup on Tuesday night after being hit by a pitch during Monday’s contest against the Rangers. The 25-year-old backstop is unlikely to miss too much additional time. It’ll be Jose Trevino handling the catching duties in his absence.

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.

Trevino rejoins New York’s catching mix ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Tigers following a one-month absence recovering from a Grade 2 left quad strain. He’ll most likely cede the majority of the playing time to Austin Wells, who has excelled during his absence.

Trevino will most likely return in a backup role for the Yankees with Austin Wells taking over as the club’s primary catcher over the last few weeks. The 31-year-old backstop has been out since mid-July due to a Grade 2 left quad strain.

Trevino has received a PRP injection and is expected to miss extended time. Carlos Narvaez was called up when Trevino landed on the IL, though Austin Wells should handle the bulk of the starts for now. Now that Trevino is facing an extended absence, it’s unclear if the Yankees would consider giving Ben Rice time behind the plate. If not, they could look to the trade market this month.

No word yet on the severity of the ailment, which will impact how quickly Trevino is able to make it back in the second half. The 31-year-old defensive stalwart, who also has eight homers this season in 59 games, suffered the injury during Friday’s contest against the Orioles. It’ll be Austin Wells handling the bulk of the catching duties in his absence.

The Yankees announced after the game that Trevino was receiving treatment and that the 31-year-old backstop would be re-evaluated on Saturday. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him to be in Saturday’s lineup, though the timing of the All-Star break may wind up saving him from a stint on the injured list.
