Trevino went 3-for-4 with three doubles and an RBI in Thursday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.
While Trevino's workload has lessened since the return of Tyler Stephenson, the backup has still played every other day while Stephenson has alternated between catcher and designated hitter. Regular at-bats over the first month of the season led to the most productive offensive stretch of Trevino's career, and he's slashing .310/.344/.524 through 29 games. If manager Terry Francona continues to get Stephenson's bat in the lineup as much as possible without wearing him out with heavy usage behind the plate, Trevino should continue to get three or four starts a week.

Reds' Jose Trevino: Back on bench Monday
Rotowire
Trevino is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.
Trevino had started behind the plate in three of his last four games, but he'll likely move into more of a part-time role moving forward after Tyler Stephenson returned from the injured list Friday. The Reds will have the luxury of using Stephenson at designated hitter on occasions while all of Austin Hays (hamstring), Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back) and Jeimer Candelario (back) are on the shelf, so at least in the short term, Trevino should still play more frequently than most No. 2 catchers.

Rotowire
Trevino went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Thursday's 9-1 win over the Cardinals.
Trevino put the Reds up early with a two-run homer in the second inning and later delivered a run with a sacrifice fly. He's filled in well for Tyler Stephenson (oblique), posting a .909 OPS with three homers through 25 games, but Trevino's run as the primary backstop could end this weekend. Stephenson made what was expected to be his final rehab start Thursday.

He'll be rested for Sunday's matinee in favor of Austin Wynns, but Trevino should continue to see the lion's share of the starts at catcher until Stephenson is deemed ready to make his 2025 debut.

Reds' Jose Trevino: Signs contract extension
Rotowire
Trevino signed a three-year, $15 million contract extension with the Reds on Thursday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Trevino was traded from the Bronx to Cincinnati this offseason, and his new deal will keep him locked in with the Reds through 2027 and also includes a club option for 2028. The 32-year-old backstop only slashed .215/.288/.354 with 28 RBI over 234 regular-season plate appearances with the Yankees last year, but he's expected to open the season as Cincy's primary catcher while Tyler Stephenson works his way back from an oblique injury.

Reds' Jose Trevino: Shipped to Cincy
Rotowire
The Yankees traded Trevino to the Reds on Friday in exchange for Fernando Cruz and Alex Jackson, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
Trevino slashed .215/.288/.354 with eight homers and 28 RBI over 234 regular-season plate appearances in 2024 while backing up Austin Wells. With Tyler Stephenson already in Cincinnati, Trevino will almost certainly continue to act as a backup, but the 32-year-old's career .637 OPS isn't likely to earn him a spot in the lineup very often.
