The Yankees played their 90th game of the season Friday night, with Austin Wells getting his 45th start behind the plate to form an even split with Jose Trevino.
But at a time when the lineup, besides Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, has been scuffling, Wells’ lefty bat has the potential to deliver more of a jolt.
The Yankees place a premium on the way Trevino — who is set to catch Gerrit Cole on Saturday afternoon — handles the pitching staff and his pitch-framing ability, even if his arm was exposed the last time they faced the Red Sox . Not playing every day has been an adjustment for Wells, who indicated he has gotten better at preparing like he is going to play every day whether or not he is.Austin Wells is greeted by New York Yankees third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera after he scores on his solo homer during the fifth inning.But he has put together mostly competitive at-bats throughout this stretch, which the Yankees lineup sorely needs while they are missing Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Rizzo because of injuries.
