The Yankees declined Trivino's (elbow) $5 million club option for 2025 on Sunday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
The right-hander hasn't seen a big-league mound since 2022 and spent this year working his way back from Tommy John surgery, so it's not a surprise New York wasn't willing to commit to a $5 million salary. Trivino had a 4.53 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 67:24 K:BB in 64 outings between the Yankees and A's in 2022.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Shut down from throwing
Rotowire
Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Trivino (elbow) has been shut down due to "shoulder stuff," Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Trivino had been working his way back from Tommy John surgery and recently agreed to extend his rehab assignment, but it's a moot point now that his shoulder's barking. Boone was vague and didn't disclose the extent of the issue, so it's unclear whether Trivino could still be an option in the postseason.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Extends rehab assignment
Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) agreed in mid-September to extend his minor-league rehab assignment an additional 10 days, per MLB.com.
Trivino continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery performed last May and a bout of right elbow inflammation that sprung up this April. Though he has a 4.91 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 11 rehab appearances, the veteran reliever has pitched three consecutive scoreless outings during which he's posted a 3:3 K:BB over 3.2 innings. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sept. 14 that Trivino has been "building a lot of good momentum," and there's still a chance the right-hander could join the New York bullpen before the end of the season.

Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Wednesday.
Trivino is finally ready for game action after undergoing Tommy John surgery in May 2023. His rehab assignment will likely be a lengthy one, but the reliever could provide aid in a middle-inning role out of the Yankees bullpen down the stretch.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Progressing slowly in rehab
Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) has been throwing, but Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the reliever's rehab has been "a little bit slow," Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Trivino is attempting to return from the Tommy John surgery he underwent on his right elbow last May. The right-hander appeared close to facing hitters in late April but was shut down less than a month later after experiencing inflammation in the surgically repaired elbow. Though he's since resumed throwing, it appears Trivino is still multiple weeks away from a potential return.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Resumes throwing
Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) has resumed throwing from a mound, per MLB.com.
Trivino was shut down from his throwing program in late April due to inflammation in his surgically repaired right elbow, though doctors confirmed via imaging that the reliever hadn't suffered any new damage to his UCL. The right-hander is making his way back from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in early May of 2023, and he isn't expected to be back in the Yankees' bullpen until after the All-Star break.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Hits snag in recovery process
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Trivino experienced inflammation in his surgically repaired right elbow in late April and is in the midst of a 3-to-4-week shutdown period, MLB.com reports. "He won't throw for a couple of more weeks, and then [will] start ramping up again," Boone said.
Trivino underwent Tommy John surgery May 3, 2023 and has hit his first snag in the rehab process, but the Yankees don't believe the setback is a major one. The right-hander's surgeon, Dr. Neal ElAttrache, performed imaging on Trivino, and nothing beyond inflammation was detected in his elbow. Assuming the multi-week rest period does its part and allows Trivino's inflammation to calm down, he should begin ramping up by the end of the month or the first week of June. Trivino is likely targeting a return from the 60-day injured list at some point around the All-Star break.

Trivino is coming up on the one-year mark of his elbow surgery, which took place May 3, 2023.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Back with Yankees on MLB pact
Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) agreed to a one-year contract with the Yankees on Wednesday.
The deal won't be made official until Trivino completes a physical, but the Yankees are already aware that the right-hander likely won't be available until the second half of the 2024 season after he underwent Tommy John surgery last May. In his last full big-league season in 2022, Trivino logged a 4.53 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 67:24 K:BB in 53.2 innings between the Yankees and Athletics. He'll likely settle at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre once he completes an extended rehab assignment, but he could earn a look in the big-league bullpen if he's able to quickly regain his pre-surgery velocity and command during his appearances in the minors.

Lou Trivino: Cut loose by Yankees
Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) was non-tendered by the Yankees on Friday.
Trivino is expected to miss the first half of the 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery this past May. He should have some suitors in free agency given his past reliability as a major-league reliever.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Needs Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
Trivino will undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Wednesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Trivino suffered a setback with his ailing right elbow last month and subsequent tests evidently revealed the worst-case scenario. The operation will probably sideline him at least until the middle of the 2024 season. Trivino is eligible for salary arbitration for a final time this offseason but is now an obvious non-tender candidate.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Gets second opinion on elbow
Rotowire
Trivino flew to Los Angeles on Monday to receive a second opinion on his elbow injury from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
Trivino is receiving an additional evaluation on his strained right elbow after he suffered a setback during a recent throwing session, which prompted the Yankees to move him from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL over the weekend. The Yankees haven't revealed the extent of Trivino's setback, but the fact that he was sent to one of the world's top specialists for shoulder and elbow injuries suggests that surgery could be on the table for the 31-year-old right-hander.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Suffers setback
Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) recently felt discomfort in his right elbow while rehabbing in Florida and will undergo further evaluation, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Trivino suffered a ligament strain in his pitching elbow during spring training but progressed to throwing bullpen sessions early in April and was coming close to facing hitters. However, the setback will presumably push back his return timeline. The right-hander is slated to see a team doctor Wednesday, per Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger, and that visit should provide some clarity about the extent of the latest issue.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Throws off mound Friday
Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) was able to throw off a mound Friday, James O'Connell of the New York Daily News reports.
Trivino opened the season on the injured list with a ligament strain in his right elbow. The right-hander is expected to miss most of April while recovering, but it's good news that the former Oakland stopper is able to get on the mound in the early part of the month. Because he missed so much of the spring, it's all but assured that Trivino will have to go on a rehab assignment before returning.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Hoping to return at end of April
Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) is hoping to return to the mound for the Yankees at the end of April, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman recently projected the right-hander to return from his right elbow ligament sprain to the Yankees in May, so both pitcher and team only differ slightly in their estimated timelines. Once healthy, Trivino will likely operate in the mid-to-late innings for the New York bullpen.
