The Yankees announced ahead of tonight’s game against the Rays that they had placed Jose Trevino on the paternity list. In a corresponding move, they called up catcher Ben Rortvedt to take Trevino’s place, and to possibly make his Yankees debut.
Rortvedt was an important piece of the trade that sent Gio Urshela and Gary Sánchez to Minnesota and Josh Donaldson (also currently on the paternity list) to New York, but has yet to reach the majors as a member of the Yankees. Oblique and knee injuries kept Rortvedt on the shelf for much of the season, but he’s been healthy since returning to the minors in mid-July.
