Yankees place starting catcher on injured list, promote lefty supplement

The New York Yankees persist in grappling with injuries. They recently announced that their starting catcher, José Treviño, will be placed on the 10-day injured list due to a strain in his left hamstring.

Treviño, 30, has participated in 30 games this season, earning 102 plate appearances. He currently boasts a .219 batting average and a .265 on-base percentage, contributing three home runs and 11 RBIs. He is experiencing the lowest strikeout rate of his career at 12.7%, and his walk rate has peaked at 5.9%.

Nevertheless, his wRC+ has seen a significant decrease, dropping from 91 in 2022 to 65 this season, implying a considerable decline in productivity.
