NEW YORK - Back in the Yankees’ clubhouse Sunday, catcher Jose Trevino said he expects to “be good to go’’ by spring training.
Trevino is “a couple of weeks away’’ from taking batting practice again.
In July, Trevino underwent right wrist surgery for a torn ligament, admitting that he was dealing with some level of discomfort since the season began.
“I feel really good where I’m at,’’ said Trevino, under the supervision of a hand specialist and the Yankees’ medical staff and shuttling between the Bronx and his San Antonio home.
“Every time I come back here, I want to play – that’s the tough part for me,’’ said Trevino, who batted .210 in 55 games after making his first All-Star team in 2022.
From the sidelines, Trevino has been “super pumped’’ for Yankees ace Gerrit Cole as he pushes toward his first Cy Young award, “and he deserves it…he’s been wanting that one.’’
“I wish I could have stuck with it the whole time,’’ Trevino said of catching Cole. “(It’s) really, really cool to see what he’s doing.’’
Yankees catching outlook for 2024
Sometimes, Trevino doesn’t see everything, though, while watching on TV.
“Maybe…a home plate view for Trevy?’’ Trevino said with a smile, suggesting the YES Network keep a home plate camera fixed, so he can read the expressions and body language of his pitchers and fellow catchers.
“(Cole) has been fun to watch…the dude is hungry,’’ said Trevino. “He wants to win a World Series, he wants to do his best – that’s Gerrit. It’s pretty impressive.’’
Trevino has also kept tabs on rookie catcher Austin Wells, while providing guidance at times.
“He’s young, he’s still got some learning to do. But I think he’s been doing an awesome job,’’ said Trevino, impressed with Wells’ presence and “the way he handles a staff, goes about his business.’’
Trevino could be splitting time next year with the lefty-hitting Wells, or the lefty-hitting Ben Rortvedt, who has become Cole's personal catcher since Trevino's injury.
Currently the longest tenured Yankees player, backup catcher Kyle Higashioka might be out of the Bronx picture in 2024.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
