After earning an All-Star selection in his first year with the Yankees, Trevino struggled to provide even serviceable offense in 2023. Then, on Friday, the 30-year-old catcher revealed he would undergo surgery on a torn wrist ligament he’s been dealing with since spring training. The injury might explain his sharp offensive downturn, but it also means he’ll miss the remainder of the season. It’s yet another tough blow for a Yankees squad that has dealt with more than its fair share of injuries. On Opening Day, 26 of 27 FanGraphs staffers [URL='https://blogs.fangraphs.com/fangraphs-2023-staff-predictions/']picked the Yankees[/URL] to reach the playoffs. It wasn’t a bad prediction, by any means; they had the highest [URL='https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds?date=2023-03-29&dateDelta=']preseason playoff odds[/URL] in the American League and [URL='https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2023-positional-power-rankings-summary/']more projected WAR[/URL] than any team in baseball. Yet the roster we’ve seen this season is a sad facsimile of the one we imagined before the year began. According to the Injured List Ledger at Baseball Prospectus, the Yankees rank first by a mile in cumulative value lost to injury. Of the seven players on the roster who were All-Stars in 2022, five have spent significant time on the shelf: [URL='https://www.fangraphs.com/players/aaron-judge/15640/stats']Aaron Judge[/URL], [URL='https://www.fangraphs.com/players/giancarlo-stanton/4949/stats']Giancarlo Stanton[/URL], [URL='https://www.fangraphs.com/players/nestor-cortes/17874/stats']Nestor Cortes[/URL], [URL='https://www.fangraphs.com/players/carlos-rodon/16137/stats']Carlos Rodón[/URL], and now Trevino.
