The Cincinnati Reds have placed backup catcher Jose Trevino on the 10-day injured list due to an undisclosed injury. Trevino has been a key reserve for the Reds this season, providing depth behind starting catcher Tyler Stephenson.

Why it matters

Trevino's absence will test the Reds' catching depth, as they rely on him to spell Stephenson and provide a capable defensive option off the bench. The team will need other players to step up in his absence as they look to remain competitive in the NL Central division race.

The details

The Reds did not provide specifics on Trevino's injury, only stating that he has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The 29-year-old backstop has appeared in 12 games so far this season, batting .250 with one home run and three RBIs.
