Reds Put Jose Trevino on 10-Day IL With Thoracic Spine Strain

The injury forces a roster shuffle that may cost Cincinnati a once-touted power bat.

Overview

  • Jose Trevino, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, is out with a thoracic spine strain and is first eligible to return April 15 after the move was backdated.
  • Manager Terry Francona said the back trouble started in spring training and that it locks up when Trevino catches.
  • Trevino will undergo an MRI in Cincinnati on Thursday to assess the severity and guide treatment.
  • Cincinnati recalled P.J. Higgins from Triple-A Louisville, with Francona setting him to catch Thursday.
  • To open a 40-man roster spot, the Reds designated Christian Encarnacion-Strand for assignment, which reporting suggests could lead to a waiver claim after his 2023 power breakout.
