ST. PETERSBURG, FL – Cincinnati Reds backup catcher Jose Trevino has progressed well enough in rehab work this week that he’s ready to return from the injured list.
After mulling the idea of activating him to start the April 22 day game against the Tampa Bay Rays in the finale of a two-city road trip, the Reds chose to give Trevino and his 33-year-old back a few more days, given the upcoming schedule.
They plan to activate him April 26 when the Reds conclude a three-game home series against the Detroit Tigers.
“That actually buys him four more days,” said manager Terry Francona, referring to the scheduled off day this week followed by a pair of night games starter Tyler Stephenson would be scheduled to catch. “(Trevino) wouldn’t catch until probably Sunday.
“And if something happens to somebody, we can certainly change it.”
Trevino landed on the IL two weeks ago after dealing with upper back pain since spring training. He got an epidural and has been pain free during his subsequent ramp-up.
