Trevino (wrist) said Sunday he plans to start hitting in a couple weeks and expects to be ready for spring training next year, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Trevino underwent right wrist surgery in late July, putting an end to his 2023 campaign. He appears to be on track in his recovery, which should allow him to have a normal offseason. Trevino thus seems likely to enter spring training fully healthy, though it's not certain he'll open as the Yankees' primary catcher given Austin Wells' strong minor-league campaign and late-season call-up to the big-league squad.

Rotowire
The Yankees transferred Trevino (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.
The transaction helps clear room on the 40-man roster for the Yankees' two pickups ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, right-handed pitchers Keynan Middleton and Spencer Howard.

Yankees' Jose Trevino: Undergoes successful surgery
Rotowire
Trevino posted on his personal Twitter account Thursday that his wrist surgery "went well."
Trevino's surgery was needed to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist. The backstop will miss the remainder of the 2023 season but expects to be ready for spring training next year, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.
Trevino was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 18, with a torn ligament in his right wrist.
Trevino was set to be on the bench for a third game in a row Friday, but the move to the IL explains his recent absences. It's unclear exactly how long he'll be out, but Ben Rortvedt was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to serve as Kyle Higashioka's backup. Trevino has a .210/.257/.312 slash line with four home runs, 15 RBI and 15 runs in 55 games this season.

Yankees' Jose Trevino: Remains on bench
Rotowire
Trevino will sit Saturday against the Rockies.
Trevino was on the bench for the final game of the first half and hasn't started either of the first two games after the break. Trevino is hitting just .211/.255/.316 (good for a 57 wRC+) on the season, which makes Kyle Higashioka's .236/.275/.400 line and 84 wRC+ look good. Trevino has only made four more starts than Higashioka behind the plate this season and hasn't shown anything to suggest he's about to move into a true starting role.
