2023 Fantasy Outlook
Trivino began the year as the A's closer, but was out of the role by mid-April thanks a bout with COVID-19 that cost him several weeks. The right-hander wasn't exactly performing well on the surface, but an elevated BABIP (.389) that was over .500 at one point inflated his ratios. Looking beyond his surface stats, Trivino posted a career-best strikeout rate (11.2 K/9) and walk percentage (9.6%) while inducing ground balls at a 53% clip. More strikeouts thanks to a new slider that Trivino threw 24% of the time as his second most-utilized pitch. The slider was responsible for 32 of his 67 strikeouts and carried a mere .109 BAA with an outstanding 47% whiff percentage. The 31-year-old reclaimed Oakland's closer job for about a month before he was traded to the Yankees, with whom his numbers were much improved (1.66 ERA, 1.29 WHIP). Trivino is likely to remain an important part of the bridge to the ninth inning in 2023. Read Past Outlooks
Opens season on IL
The Yankees placed Trivino (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Trivino is dealing with a ligament strain of his right elbow and is expected to miss around a month, though the 31-year-old is leaving the door open for a potential debut before the end of April. When healthy, Trivino is likely to serve as a middle-relief or setup arm out of the New York bullpen.

2019
Trivino's team-leading 22 saves in 2021 was also a career-high mark. He began the campaign by splitting closer duties with Jake Diekman, but he ultimately took over the role until he struggled in three consecutive outings in late August. Though those problems may have been caused by a back injury, Trivino's potential to serve as a consistent closer is worth calling into question. He lacks the typical swing-and-miss stuff of a closer (10.2 swinging strike rate; 21.6 K% in 2021) and also struggles with free passes (11 BB%). As a result, the primary factor that led to Trivino's success was his ability to induce groundballs at a 48% clip, which in turn helped him surrender only 0.6 HR/9. Given that the Athletics declined Diekman's team option and Sergio Romo also hit free agency, Trivino may begin the season as closer in Oakland. However, he should not be drafted among the elite relievers and fantasy managers should not rely on him for a full season of saves.
