Manager of the Yankees Aaron Boone became concerned when he saw All-Star catcher Jose Trevino in pain.
In the eighth inning of the Yankees’ 3-2 win in Oakland on Friday, left-handed reliever Jared Koenig hit Trevino in the right big toe with a 94 mph fastball.
You fear the worst when you see it, Boone said.
Trevino was able to convince the manager to let him pitch an additional inning, but in the bottom of the ninth inning, Kyle Higashioka came in to take his place.
When the A’s scored a run in the ninth inning off of Wandy Peralta to make it a one-run game, Trevino went to the X-ray room at the ballpark.
The Yankees were very anxious up until they found out the results.
Negative.
That obviously is an exhale, Boone said.
Trevino might not be able to play for a few days, but this is better than a fracture, which could have put him on the injured list for the rest of the season.
Trevino has been one of the best defensive catchers in the majors this season, hitting .271 with 13 home runs and 37 RBI in 92 games. Losing him for even a short time would be a big blow.
Higashioka will take the field in place of Trevino while he is away.
Trevino can play in an emergency, Boone said.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa, previously a shortstop for the Texas Rangers, will serve as the Yankees‘ third catcher. During the 2018–19 season, he caught 73 games for the Rangers.
We’ll see what we have moving forward, Boone said.
