When Jose Trevino landed on the injured list July 13 with a quad strain, he and Austin Wells had an even split in playing time — 48 starts each.
In the time since, Wells’ bat has continued to emerge and become too vital a piece for the Yankees to return to that kind of 50-50 platoon when Trevino returns from the injured list, potentially as soon as some time next week.
Wells was already beginning to hit well even before Trevino got injured, batting .306 with a .939 OPS in his last 31 starts . That is in large part due to the fact that when Stanton does not DH, Boone likes to get Aaron Judge a day there to get him out of center field. New York Yankees catcher Austin Wells connects on a RBI single against the Los Angeles Angels in the first inning at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night.
The veteran infielder, who has struggled for most of the season, went 1-for-4 and is now batting 6-for-16 with two doubles, a home run and nine RBIs over his last four starts since being out of the lineup for five straight games. “I kind of knew what I needed to do. I just couldn’t figure out how to do it,” LeMahieu said before Thursday’s game. “But I think taking a couple days off gave me a little different perspective. Able to look at a few things more closely.
