Trevino

Both homers came off Tomoyuki Sugano. The first was projected at 395 feet, even though it fell short of being a hard-hit ball in leaving his bat at 93.7 mph. It’s Trevino’s third career two-homer game. His other two came with the Yankees in 2022 and ’24. Trevino is 9-for-19 with three homers and six RBI in his five starts this month, but he’ll likely be back on the bench in favor of Tyler Stephenson on Sunday.

Trevino’s homer off Jacob Misiorowski was hit at 98.5 mph with a 41-degree launch angle, but it pretty easily cleared the wall down the left field line. It was his first in 19 games this season. He hadn’t had a three-hit game since June 4 of last season.

The 33-year-old backstop returns after missing four weeks due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain. He returns to a .138/.167/.172 slash line with zero homers and two RBI in just 32 plate appearances between trips to the injured list. P.J. Higgins was optioned back to Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move on Sunday.

He’s been on the injured list since May 17. Once healthy, Trevino figures to replace PJ Higgins as the Reds backup catcher. Again.

Trevino hit the injured list over the weekend and has been officially diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain. The 33-year-old veteran backup catcher will be on the shelf until at least early-to-mid June.

Trevino suffered the injury during Saturday’s game against the Guardians. He’ll miss at least a couple of weeks. P.J. Higgins returned from Triple-A Louisville to serve as the Reds’ backup behind Tyler Stephenson.

Tyler Stephenson pinch-hit for him in the sixth inning. Trevino served an IL stint last month for a back strain. If he returns to the IL, the Reds could look to bring back P.J. Higgins, who was just DFA’d, or call up Will Banfield.

As a team, the Reds tallied just four hits in the ballgame, with Trevino’s double being one of just two that went for extra bases. He’s having a miserable season offensively, slashing .158/.200/.211 with zero RBI in his first 20 plate appearances.

The 33-year-old backstop had been shelved since April 8 due to a thoracic spine strain. He’ll resume his role as the backup behind Tyler Stephenson. P.J. Higgins was optioned back to Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move on Sunday.

The 33-year-old catcher landed on the injured list a couple of weeks ago with an injury that apparently sounded scarier than it actually turned out to be. Trevino will eventually take the backup catcher duties back in Cincinnati, but it might be a few weeks before he’s ready to play in the majors again.
