Promoted to third in order Trevino started at catcher and batted third, going 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Athletics.

Impact Trevino, who started the season batting in the lower third of the order, was moved up the three hole, a spot where the Rangers need production. The team's No. 3 hitters went into Wednesday's game slashing .137/.183/.205. He posted an .893 OPS in eight games while batting eighth or ninth, so Trevino became the sixth No. 3 hitter tried this season. Joey Gallo would appear to solve the issue for the Rangers, but manager Chris Woodward told T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com that he doesn't feel comfortable there. "I'm hoping that we eventually get to that point, where he feels really, really comfortable about being in that spot," Woodward said. "Maybe it isn't the best spot for him. There is a comfort factor, obviously, when you're a major league hitter."

Runs hit streak to four Trevino went 2-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 10-1 loss to Seattle.

Impact Trevino is making the most of his increased playing time in the wake of the injury to Robinson Chirinos (ankle). Saturday's effort was Trevino's fourth straight with multiple hits and at least one extra-base hit. He has eight hits in 16 at-bats with three doubles and one home run during the four-game span. Chirinos is eligible at any time to come off the injured list, but there's been little update on his condition.

Homers in loss Trevino went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, three RBI and another run scored during Thursday's loss to the Padres.

Impact Trevino gave Texas the lead with a two-run shot off Dinelson Lamet in the fifth inning. The long ball was the first of the year for the 27-year-old backstop, who was called up Friday when the Rangers placed Robinson Chirinos (ankle) on the injured list.

Scores twice in win Trevino went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact Trevino was called up Friday after the Rangers placed Robinson Chirinos (ankle) on the 10-day injured list. He is expected to serve as the backup to the 37-year-old Jeff Mathis while Chirinos is sidelined. If the injury lingers, then Mathis' age could become a factor in the playing time split behind the plate.

Sent down to alternate site The Rangers optioned Trevino to their alternate training site Thursday.

Impact Robinson Chirinos is locked in as the Rangers' No. 1 catcher and the team values veteran Jeff Mathis' skills as a pitch framer and game caller, so Trevino predictably found himself on the chopping block with Texas needing to reduce its roster from 30 to 28 men ahead of Thursday's deadline. Trevino only appeared in two of the Rangers' first 10 games, going 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI.

Gets at-bats Sunday Chirinos (ankle) caught one inning and had four at-bats in Sunday's intrasquad game, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Impact While seeing Chirinos participate in the game is an encouraging sign, he's not out of the woods in terms of being available for Friday's season opener against Colorado. Texas manager Chris Woodward talked about Chirinos and Willie Calhoun (hip), who also took part in Sunday's game. "They are better off than I anticipated," the manager said. "I'm not sure they'll be ready for Opening Day or we would want them ready for Opening Day. But whether it is Opening Day, the second day or the third day, as long as they are ready within the first seven games, we will probably keep them on the roster." While Jeff Mathis provides a wealth of MLB experience, Woodward said earlier in camp he may roll with Jose Trevino as the top backup if Chirinos is unable to open the season.

May replace Chirinos Trevino may replace Robinson Chirinos (ankle) as the starting catcher, Sam Blum of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Chirinos suffered a right ankle injury in a collision during Monday's intrasquad game and could miss a few days as a result. Texas manager Chris Woodward is looking at Trevino as a potential replacement and feels Trevino has made significant improvement at the plate. "What I've seen as the biggest difference is the bat. The swing changes he's made, the commitment to his work and being able to handle all of that is tough for a catcher, especially a young catcher," said the manager.
