Option turned down by Yankees The Yankees declined Trivino's (elbow) $5 million club option for 2025 on Sunday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact The right-hander hasn't seen a big-league mound since 2022 and spent this year working his way back from Tommy John surgery, so it's not a surprise New York wasn't willing to commit toa $5 million salary. Trivino had a 4.53 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 67:24 K:BB in 64 outings between the Yankees and A's in 2022.

Shut down from throwing Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Trivino (elbow) has been shut down due to "shoulder stuff," Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Trivino had been working his way back from Tommy John surgery and recently agreed to extend his rehab assignment, but it's a moot point now that his shoulder's barking. Boone was vague and didn't disclose the extent of the issue, so it's unclear whether Trivino could still be an option in the postseason.

Extends rehab assignment Trivino (elbow) agreed in mid-September to extend his minor-league rehab assignment an additional 10 days, per MLB.com.

Impact Trivino continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery performed last May and a bout of right elbow inflammation that sprung up this April. Though he has a 4.91 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 11 rehab appearances, the veteran reliever has pitched three consecutive scoreless outings during which he's posted a 3:3 K:BB over 3.2 innings. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sept. 14 that Trivino has been "building a lot of good momentum," and there's still a chance the right-hander could join the Yankees bullpen before the end of the season.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Rehab moving to Triple-A Trivino's (elbow) rehab assignment is moving to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Trivino is being moved to Triple-A after making five appearances for Double-A Somerset. He pitched an inning each outing and allowed just one run which came in the first game. His rehab moving up a level comes with him nearing a possible return from Tommy John Surgery.

AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE

Starting rehab assignment Trivino (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Wednesday.

Impact Trivino is finally ready for game action after undergoing Tommy John surgery in May of 2023. His rehab assignment should be a lengthy one, but the reliever could help out in the Yankees' bullpen down the stretch.

AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE

Progressing slowly in rehab Trivino (elbow) has been throwing, but Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the reliever's rehab has been "a little bit slow," Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Trivino is attempting to return from the Tommy John surgery he underwent on his right elbow last May. The right-hander appeared close to facing hitters in late April but was shut down less than a month later after experiencing inflammation in the surgically repaired elbow. Though he's since resumed throwing, it appears Trivino is still multiple weeks away from a potential return.

JULY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes throwing Trivino (elbow) has resumed throwing from a mound, per MLB.com.

Impact Trivino was shut down from his throwing program in late April due to inflammation in his surgically repaired right elbow, though doctors confirmed via imaging that the reliever hadn't suffered any new damage to his UCL. The right-hander is making his way back from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in early May of 2023, and he isn't expected to be back in the Yankees' bullpen until after the All-Star break.

Back with Yankees on MiLB pact Trivino (elbow) agreed to a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Wednesday, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

Impact The deal won't be made official until Trivino completes a physical, but the Yankees are already aware that the right-hander likely won't be available until the second half of the 2024 season after he underwent Tommy John surgery last May. In his last full big-league season in 2022, Trivino logged a 4.53 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 67:24 K:BB in 53.2 innings between the Yankees and Athletics. He'll likely settle at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre once he completes an extended rehab assignment, but he could earn a look in the big-league bullpen if he's able to quickly regain his pre-surgery velocity and command during his appearances in the minors.

Needs Tommy John surgery Trivino will undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Wednesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Trivino suffered a setback with his ailing right elbow last month and subsequent tests evidently revealed the worst-case scenario. The operation will probably sideline him at least until around midseason of 2024. Trivino is eligible for salary arbitration for a final time this offseason but is now and obvious non-tender candidate.

Gets second opinion on elbow Trivino flew to Los Angeles on Monday to receive a second opinion on his elbow injury from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Impact Trivino is receiving an additional evaluation on his strained right elbow after he suffered a setback during a recent throwing session, which prompted the Yankees to move him from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL over the weekend. The Yankees haven't revealed the extent of Trivino's setback, but the fact that he was sent to one of the world's top specialists for shoulder and elbow injuries suggests that surgery could be on the table for the 31-year-old right-hander.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Transferred to 60-day IL Trivino (elbow) was transferred Saturday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

Impact This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Jake Bauers, who is joining the Yankees ahead of Saturday night's game against the Rangers. Trivino recently had a setback in his recovery from a right elbow strain and there is no current timetable for his 2023 debut.

Suffers setback Trivino (elbow) felt discomfort in his right elbow while rehabbing in Florida and will undergo further evaluation, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Trivino suffered a ligament strain in his pitching elbow during spring training but progressed to throwing bullpen sessions early in April and was coming close to facing hitters. However, the setback will presumably push back his return timeline. The right-hander is slated to see a team doctor Wednesday, per Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger, and that visit should provide some clarity about the extent of the latest issue.

Yankees' Lou Trivino suffers injury setback that puts his season in jeopardy New York Yankees reliever Lou Trivino was shut down from throwing a few days ago with more elbow issues.

APRIL 25, 2023 • NJ.COM

Close to facing hitters Trivino (elbow) threw another bullpen session Tuesday and is slated for a "two-up" session Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact If that goes well, he'll be cleared for a live batting practice session. Trivino will need a few rehab appearances after missing more than a month with an elbow strain, but he's trending in the right direction.

APRIL 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throws off mound Friday Trivino (elbow) was able to throw off a mound Friday, James O'Connell of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Trivino opened the season on the injured list with a ligament strain in his right elbow. The right-hander is expected to miss most of April while recovering, but it's good news that the former Oakland stopper is able to get on the mound in the early part of the month. Because he missed so much of the spring, it's all but assured that Trivino will have to go on a rehab assignment before returning.
