Jose Trevino's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that catcher Jose Trevino (quadriceps) is set to return from the 10-day injured list on Friday, but Austin Wells will continue to get the bulk of the playing time behind the dish. Trevino recently started a minor-league rehab assignment and didn't have any setbacks with a Grade 2 left-quadriceps strain that has kept him out of action in the Bronx since the middle of July. The 31-year-old veteran backstop went 2-for-8 with Double-A Somerset in three rehab games and will return to a .244/.303/.411 slash line when he rejoins the Yankees this weekend. Trevino has added eight home runs and 27 RBI in his 59 games in his third year in New York, but his fantasy appeal is limited to deep two-catcher leagues while he works behind Wells.

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (quadriceps) will start a minor-league rehab assignment on Sunday. Trevino will start playing in minor-league games and could be ready to rejoin the Yankees sometime late next week/weekend. The 31-year-old veteran backstop has been sidelined for four weeks due to a Grade 2 left-quadriceps strain. With Trevino out, the Yankees have been rolling with a catching combination of Austin Wells (the starter) and Carlos Narvaez backing him up. Wells has been the more intriguing fantasy option in the Bronx, but Trevino hasn't been a slouch with a .244 average (41-for-168) with eight home runs and 27 runs driven in over 186 trips to the plate. When Trevino is given the green light to come off the 10-day injured list, Narvaez will become expendable.

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (quad) is close to returning to major-league action, but he is first scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment starting either on Sunday or Tuesday, according to manager Aaron Boone. It's not yet known which affiliate Trevino will play for. Trevino has been on the injured list since July 14 due to a Grade 2 left quad strain on July 14, but he should be back behind the dish for the Yankees before the end of August. At the time of the injury, the 31-year-old backstop was hitting .244 (41-for-188) with eight home runs and 27 RBI in 60 games while platooning with the lefty-hitting Austin Wells, who has been batting cleanup and performing well in New York's lineup with regularity since late July. In all likelihood, Trevino is going to find himself on the wrong side of a platoon in the Bronx when he returns from the IL.

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 11-5 win over the Royals. The home run was his sixth of the season, and the backstop now has 23 RBI, 17 runs scored, a .324 wOBA, and 112 wRC+. The 31-year-old has performed well when he's been in the lineup and has decidedly better numbers than Austin Wells, but they split time evenly (138 PA for Trevino, 132 for Wells) so for fantasy you probably prefer someone who gets more regular at-bats.

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino will take a seat in favor of Austin Wells for the second straight day on Thursday against the visiting Houston Astros. Wells is catching right-hander Marcus Stroman and will hit eighth in the batting order against Astros right-hander Ronel Blanco. Wells will be making his 21st start of the season, while Trevino has started 18 games for the Yankees, so it's basically been a pretty even timeshare behind the dish in the Bronx for the two. The 31-year-old Trevino has been better offensively, hitting .281 (18-for-64) with two homers and 11 RBI, while Wells enters Thursday's game slashing just .200/.333/.317 with a homer and three RBI in 60 at-bats. Those setting DFS lineups on Thursday should look elsewhere at the catching position than Wells.
