The New York Yankees have been dealt a significant blow as their starting catcher, Jose Treviño, has recently undergone surgery to repair a tear in his right wrist. The 30-year-old catcher, forced to manage the injury since its diagnosis in spring training, will be out for the rest of the season.

Treviño contributed to 55 games and left the team with a batting average of .210 and a .257 On-Base Percentage (OBP). Though his offensive performance was underwhelming, with only four home runs and 15 RBIs, his defensive skills are unmatchable, a void the Yankees will find hard to fill.
