Jose Trevino Returns to Play in High-A Dayton Rehab Game Jose Trevino, the Cincinnati Reds catcher, participated in a rehabilitation assignment game with the High-A Dayton Dragons on Friday, April 25, 2026, as part of his recovery from a thoracic spine strain. The appearance marked a key step in his path toward activation from the injured list. Trevino last played for the Reds on April 4, 2026, before being placed on the injured list due to the back injury. His rehab assignment with the Dragons allows him to gain game action in a minor league setting while continuing his recovery process. The Dragons confirmed Trevino’s participation in the game via their official announcement, noting that he is expected to play in the Friday night contest against the South Bend Cubs at Day Air Ballpark. The move makes him the 46th Reds player to join the Dragons on a Major League Baseball injury rehabilitation assignment. Throughout his career, Trevino has played for the Texas Rangers, New York Yankees, and currently the Cincinnati Reds. He made his MLB debut in 2018 with the Rangers and was traded to the Yankees prior to the 2022 season. In 2022, he earned All-Star honors and won the American League Gold Glove Award for his defensive performance behind the plate. After the 2024 season, the Yankees traded Trevino to the Reds, where he has continued to serve as a veteran presence in the catching role. Over his nine-year MLB career, he has appeared in 495 games across all three organizations. Rehab assignments like Trevino’s with the Dragons are standard procedure for players returning from injury. They provide an opportunity to test fitness, regain timing, and build up to full game speed before rejoining the major league roster. The Reds have not announced a specific date for Trevino’s potential activation, but his participation in the rehab game indicates progress in his recovery. The Dragons will continue their series against the South Bend Cubs with games scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at Day Air Ballpark.
