Trivino will undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Wednesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Trivino suffered a setback with his ailing right elbow last month and subsequent tests evidently revealed the worst-case scenario. The operation will probably sideline him at least until the middle of the 2024 season. Trivino is eligible for salary arbitration for a final time this offseason but is now an obvious non-tender candidate.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Gets second opinion on elbow
Rotowire
Trivino flew to Los Angeles on Monday to receive a second opinion on his elbow injury from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
Trivino is receiving an additional evaluation on his strained right elbow after he suffered a setback during a recent throwing session, which prompted the Yankees to move him from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL over the weekend. The Yankees haven't revealed the extent of Trivino's setback, but the fact that he was sent to one of the world's top specialists for shoulder and elbow injuries suggests that surgery could be on the table for the 31-year-old right-hander.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Transferred to 60-day IL
Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) was transferred Saturday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.
This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Jake Bauers, who is joining the Yankees ahead of Saturday night's game against the Rangers. Trivino recently had a setback in his recovery from a right elbow strain and there is no current timetable for his 2023 debut.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Suffers setback
Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) recently felt discomfort in his right elbow while rehabbing in Florida and will undergo further evaluation, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Trivino suffered a ligament strain in his pitching elbow during spring training but progressed to throwing bullpen sessions early in April and was coming close to facing hitters. However, the setback will presumably push back his return timeline. The right-hander is slated to see a team doctor Wednesday, per Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger, and that visit should provide some clarity about the extent of the latest issue.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Close to facing hitters
Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) threw another bullpen session Tuesday and is slated for a "two-up" session Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
If that goes well, he'll be cleared for a live batting practice session. Trivino will need a few rehab appearances after missing more than a month with an elbow strain, but he's trending in the right direction.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Throws off mound Friday
Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) was able to throw off a mound Friday, James O'Connell of the New York Daily News reports.
Trivino opened the season on the injured list with a ligament strain in his right elbow. The right-hander is expected to miss most of April while recovering, but it's good news that the former Oakland stopper is able to get on the mound in the early part of the month. Because he missed so much of the spring, it's all but assured that Trivino will have to go on a rehab assignment before returning.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Opens season on IL
Rotowire
The Yankees placed Trivino (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.
Trivino is dealing with a ligament strain of his right elbow and is expected to miss around a month, though the 31-year-old is leaving the door open for a potential debut before the end of April. When healthy, Trivino is likely to serve as a middle-relief or setup arm out of the New York bullpen.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Hoping to return at end of April
Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) is hoping to return to the mound for the Yankees at the end of April, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman recently projected the right-hander to return from his right elbow ligament sprain to the Yankees in May, so both pitcher and team only differ slightly in their estimated timelines. Once healthy, Trivino will likely operate in the mid-to-late innings for the New York bullpen.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Resumes throwing
Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) began throwing again Monday, Randy Miller of NJ Advance Media reports.
Trivino suffered a right elbow ligament strain early in spring and will begin the season on the injured list. Though he's started throwing again, the right-handed reliever is expected to be out until at least late April.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Headed for IL with elbow strain
Rotowire
Trivino will begin the season on the injured list with a right elbow ligament strain, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.
The strain is considered mild but is expected to cost Trivino at least the first month of the season. It's another blow to the Yankees' right-handed relief corps after Tommy Kahnle (biceps) went down earlier this week. Trivino pitched well after being acquired at last year's trade deadline with a 1.66 ERA across 25 appearances. When healthy, he's slated for a setup role and could even earn the occasional save.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Avoids arbitration with Yankees
Rotowire
Trivino agreed to a one-year, $4.1 million contract with the Yankees on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
A closer during his time with Oakland, Trivino logged only one save after coming over to New York at the trade deadline, but his numbers were much improved overall following the move. Trivino turned in a 1.66 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB in 25 appearances for the Yankees and will likely be an important part of the bridge to the ninth inning next season.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Collects first save as Yankee
Rotowire
Trivino gave up a hit and struck out one in 1.2 scoreless innings Tuesday to record his 11th save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Blue Jays.
The Yankees' closer picture remains a jumbled mess, as no New York reliever has picked up consecutive saves for the team since Clay Holmes did it Sept. 4-5. Trivino's last save came July 26, when he was still with Oakland, and he may not be a significant part of the ninth-inning picture for his new club over the final handful of regular-season games. Since joining the Yankees, Trivino boasts a 1.74 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB through 20.2 innings with a win and two holds over 24 appearances.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Overcomes bout with back spasms
Rotowire
Trivino has made three relief appearances for the Yankees since experiencing back spasms earlier this month, covering 1.2 innings in those outings while striking out one and allowing one earned run on three hits and one walk.
Trivino apparently picked up the injury coming out of his Sept. 4 appearance and didn't pitch for six days before he was used out of the bullpen last weekend. The Yankees haven't indicated that Trivino has experienced any setbacks since returning to action, so he'll likely continue to serve in a middle-relief or setup role for the club moving forward.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Dealing with back spasms
Rotowire
Manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Trivino is dealing with back spasms, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Trivino said that he deals with a similar back issue approximately once a year and usually requires a few days of rest before the pain subsides. The right-hander should be considered day-to-day heading into the Yankees' weekend series against the Rays.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Handed eighth loss
Rotowire
Trivino (2-8) took the loss during Saturday's 3-2 defeat at the hands of the Athletics, allowing an unearned run on one walk while recording one strikeout in one inning.
Trivino entered with two on and one out in the 10th inning and was able to escape the jam by striking out Shea Langeliers, but he didn't have as much luck when a DJ LeMahieu error on a potential inning-ending double play let the winning run score in the 11th. The 30-year-old has been lights out since joining New York at the beginning of August, permitting a single run in 10 innings across 12 appearances, and he has taken on a larger role of late as manager Aaron Boone attempts to get the team back on track.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Takes loss in 10th inning
Rotowire
Trivino (1-7) was tagged with the loss against Boston on Friday, allowing an unearned run on two hits in one-third of an inning.
After closer Clay Holmes blew another save opportunity in the ninth inning, Wandy Peralta came to the rescue to send the game into extra frames. New York failed to score in the top of the 10th, and Trivino gave up the winning run in the bottom of the frame on Tommy Pham's walkoff single. The run was unearned, but it was the first Trivino has given up since joining the Yankees on Aug. 2. With Holmes in danger of losing his closing spot, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic, Trivino -- who saved 10 games for Oakland prior to being traded -- could see some work in that role, though Aroldis Chapman would appear to be the more likely replacement.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Lands in Bronx
Rotowire
Trivino and Frankie Montas were traded from the A's to the Yankees on Monday, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
It remains to be seen who is headed to Oakland in exchange for the two pitchers, but Trivino is set to finish the campaign with the Yankees. Southpaw A.J. Puk and righty Zach Jackson are arguably the best healthy options remaining on the Oakland depth chart, though Dany Jimenez (shoulder) also appears close to rejoining the active roster.

Athletics' Lou Trivino: No drama in 10th save
Rotowire
Trivino pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Astros.
After allowing three runs in his last two appearances, an uneventful save conversion was just what Trivino needed. The 30-year-old right-hander has gone 6-for-7 in save chances while adding one hold in 11 outings in July, allowing six runs in 9.2 innings. For the season, he has a 6.68 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and 43:14 K:BB through 31 frames. He's 10-for-12 in save chances this year, but his shaky ratios make him difficult to trust in fantasy.

Athletics' Lou Trivino: Nearly blows save
Rotowire
Trivino gave up two earned runs on three hits -- including a home run -- and a walk while strikeout out one over two-thirds of an inning in a 5-4 win over the Rangers on Friday.
The Athletics closer was called upon to protect a three-run lead heading into the ninth but things unraveled quickly and Trivino was pulled from the game with the tying run at second base. He was relieved by A.J. Puk who notched his first career save. Trivino is arguably the weakest pitcher who regularly closes games at the major-league level and his days in the closer role could be numbered. The 30-year-old veteran has an abysmal 6.83 ERA this season and could be replaced by Puk if Athletics manager Mark Kotsay feels the need to shake things up.

Athletics' Lou Trivino: Blows save against Texas
Rotowire
Trivino allowed two runs on three hits with three strikeouts in one inning during Tuesday's 14-7 victory against the Rangers, blowing the save in the process.
Trivino entered in the ninth inning to protect a two-run lead and surrendered a leadoff solo shot to Corey Seager followed by two straight two-out hits to blow his second save of the campaign. The 30-year-old had allowed just one run over his last 7.2 innings across eight appearances prior to Tuesday's hiccup, though he still owns an unsightly 7.11 ERA and 2.05 WHIP in 25.1 innings.
