The Cincinnati Reds have signed catcher Jose Trevino to an extension. His contract is now worth up to $15 million and will be three years in length. During the offseason, the Reds acquired Trevino from the New York Yankees in exchange for relief pitcher Fernando Cruz and Alex Jackson. Last season in New York, Trevino posted a .215/.288/.354 slash line with eight home runs and one stolen base across 74 contests. He generated a modest .267 xwOBA but was an excellent defender, placing him in the 95th percentile in framing and 88th percentile in Blocks Above Average. Fantasy managers should expect Trevino to typically operate as the No. 2 option behind in the plate. However, the top option, Tyler Stephenson (oblique), will open the season on the 10-day injured list, which will provide Trevino more opportunities early in the campaign.

Cincinnati Reds catcher Jose Trevino (hand) is undergoing a CT scan on his right hand on Saturday. Trevino suffered this injury during Friday's spring training contest. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he could be at risk of missing the start of the regular season if this injury is serious. The Reds are already going to be without top backstop Tyler Stephenson (oblique) during the start of the regular season. The Reds acquired Trevino in a trade from the New York Yankees earlier in the offseason. Last season, the 32-year-old posted a .215/.288/.354 slash line with eight home runs. If Trevino were to miss the start of the regular season, fantasy managers should expect Austin Wynns to move up to the top of the depth chart.

Cincinnati Reds catcher Jose Trevino (hand) exited Friday's spring training contest early after a foul tip hit him on his hand. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as the team has yet to provide information on the severity of the injury. This is also not a good sign as top catcher Tyler Stephenson (oblique) is set to begin the season on the injured list. The Reds acquired Trevino earlier in the offseason in a trade from the Yankees in exchange for Fernando Cruz and Alex Jackson. Last season in the Bronx, the 32-year-old backstop posted a .215/.288/.354 line with five doubles and eight long balls. He showed a strong eye at the plate, holding a 17.5 percent strikeout rate. If Trevino were to miss time, fantasy managers should expect Austin Wynns to operate as the No. 1 backstop.

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, catcher Jose Trevino and the Cincinnati Reds have settled on a one-year, $3.425 million contract to avoid salary arbitration. The Reds acquired Trevino from the New York Yankees in a trade earlier this offseason, which sent right-handed pitcher Fernando Cruz to the Bronx. Trevino should be expected to share catching duties with Tyler Stephenson. Last season, Trevino posted a .215/.288/.354 slash line with just eight home runs. Under the hood, Trevino generated a poor .267 xwOBA, a 5.3% barrel rate, and a 35.1% hard-hit rate. Trevino should only be targeted in deeper NL-only formats, as Stephenson should be expected to see the majority of starts behind the dish and because Trevino carries minimal offensive upside.

The Cincinnati Reds acquired catcher Jose Trevino from the New York Yankees on Friday night in exchange for right-handed reliever Fernando Cruz and catcher Alex Jackson, according to sources. Trevino was the primary backup for Austin Wells in the Bronx in 2024 and slashed a weak .215/.288/.354 with eight home runs and 28 RBI in 234 plate appearances in the regular season. The 32-year-old veteran backstop will now head to Cincinnati, where he'll once again be in a backup role, this time behind Tyler Stephenson. His backup role won't provide him much fantasy value, if any at all, heading into the 2025 campaign. The former sixth-round pick by the Texas Rangers in 2014 out of Oral Roberts University carries a .236/.275/.362 career slash line with a .637 OPS and only 32 home runs in 399 games over seven MLB seasons.

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.

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino made some noise with his bat during Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics. He went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the loss to the A's. The solo blast by Trevino was the only run the Yankees could put on the board during Thursday's loss. Trevino has been decent, slashing .273/.347/.756 with two homers and eight RBI across 44 plate appearances.

New 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.

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino won't be available for the first couple weeks of spring training games due to a calf strain, according to Yankees skipper Aaron Boone. The 31-year-old underwent season-ending wrist surgery after appearing in just 55 games in the 2023 season but wasn't expected to be limited to begin the spring prior to his new calf issue. It was a disastrous, injury-shortened season for Trevino at the plate in 2023 as he hit just .210 with four home runs and a .569 OPS across 168 trips to the plate. However, his highly-rated defense will keep him in the catching picture in the Bronx, especially with catcher Kyle Higashioka being traded to the Padres this winter. Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on the situation as rookie Austin Wells could receive additional playing time if Trevino is sidelined.

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (wrist) said on Monday that he won't be facing any limitations when spring training starts. Trevino is now more than six months removed from surgery on his right wrist and should be ready to rock for the start of the 2024 season, barring any setbacks during spring training. The 31-year-old veteran backstop will most likely be splitting playing time behind the dish in the Bronx in 2024 with Austin Wells, which will limit his fantasy appeal. Trevino was the Yankees' primary catcher in 2022 and was a first-time All-Star, but he played in only 55 games in 2023 due to his wrist injury and hit .210 (33-for-157) with four home runs and 15 RBI before getting hurt. At best, Trevino will be an option for fantasy managers in two-catcher leagues, and he's a defense-first player.

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (wrist), who was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a right-wrist tear, will need season-ending surgery. Trevino said his wrist had been an issue dating back to spring training. He thought he could play through the pain, but he's reached the point where he needs to get it fixed. Trevino expects to be ready for spring training next year. In a corresponding move, the Yankees recalled catcher Ben Rortvedt from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Trevino will finish the year hitting just .210 with four home runs, 15 RBI and 15 runs scored in 157 at-bats. Kyle Higashioka will remain New York's primary backstop, with Rortvedt serving as his backup moving forward.

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 30-year-old catcher. Trevino was an All-Star in 2022, but has taken a step back this season. He's slashing .216/.255/.306 with three home runs and 13 RBI in 41 games. Kyle Higashioka will be behind the plate and bat eighth versus left-hander JP Sears.

The New York Yankees reinstated catcher Jose Trevino (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned catcher Ben Rortvedt to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Trevino was immediately back in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday, doing the catching and hitting eighth against Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert. The 30-year-old catcher will split playing time behind the dish moving forward with Kyle Higashioka. Trevino was a first-time All-Star in 2022, but he is returning to a .219 batting average (21-for-96) with two doubles, three home runs, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored in 102 trips to the plate. He's really only worth rostering in two-catcher leagues.

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (hamstring) could return to the club before Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners, according to MLB.com. The 30-year-old has been on the shelf since May 18 after suffering a hamstring strain on May 17. Before going down, Trevino was slashing .219/.265/.333 with three homers, 11 runs, and 11 RBI over 30 contests and should only be rostered in two-catcher formats. Fantasy managers should expect Kyle Higashioka to lose the starting backstop role, so with his .214 average and .648 OPS, he can be dropped everywhere.

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (hamstring) will travel with the team to Seattle early next week, and he's in play to be activated from the injured list on Tuesday. Trevino has been sidelined since May 17 with a left-hamstring strain, but he's nearing a return to the team's active roster. When he returns, he'll continue to split playing time behind the dish in the Bronx with Kyle Higashioka. Before his injury, the 30-year-old veteran backstop was hitting just .219 (21-for-96) with two doubles, three home runs, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored in 102 plate appearances over 30 games played. Trevino was a first-time All-Star in 2022, when he hit .248/.283/.388 with 11 homers and 43 RBI in 115 games played.

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (hamstring) could be activated from the injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres. According to Yankees manager Aaron Boone, Trevino is "doing well." He is first eligible to come off the injured list on Sunday. The 30-year-old hit just .219 (21-for-96) with two doubles, three home runs, and 11 RBI over 30 games before landing on the injured list. Trevino will be the Yankees' primary catcher once he returns and is mainly an option two catcher formats.
