Yankees’ Jose Trevino repeatedly said, “I’m good,” when asked how he was feeling on Saturday after X-rays were negative following Friday’s game.
The injury reinforced how much the Yankees have come to rely on Trevino, who was acquired near the end of spring training from Texas in exchange for Albert Abreu and minor league left-hander Robby Ahlstrom.
Ben Rortvedt, also acquired in a trade during the spring, was expected to be part of the catching mix, as well, as both he and Trevino had minor league options.Boone said at the time, Trevino could “really catch” and would be a valuable piece, especially while Rortvedt was out. Since then, Trevino played well enough that he gradually earned more playing time and became an All-Star. Now, he’s clearly the starting catcher.
Higashioka took over in the bottom of the ninth on Friday and finished the game, but had started just six games this month. Boone indicated Isiah Kiner-Falefa would be used in an emergency. Kiner-Falefa started 66 games at catcher for the Rangers in 2018 and 2019, but has not played there since.
