Jose Trevino Slated To Make Spring Debut Sunday
9 months agoNew York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (calf) is scheduled to return to the lineup on Sunday, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. The veteran backstop has been sidelined for most of Spring Training with a calf injury he suffered after recovering from wrist surgery. The 31-year-old had a strong season defensively last year but took a step back at the plate, slashing just .210/.257/.312 with a 4.8 BB%, 13.1 K%, and 58 wRC+. Heading into 2024, he'll presumably split time with catching prospect Austin Wells, who is ready for a full year in the majors after playing 19 games at the big-league level last year. Trevino hits lefties well whereas Wells performs better against righties, so it's easy to see how a platoon situation could unfold behind the dish.
