The Yankees are trying to snap out of their 2-0 World Series deficit by making a change at catcher.
Jose Trevino will start Game 3 behind the plate for the scuffling Austin Wells, ESPN reported Monday.
It will only be Trevino’s second start of the postseason, the first one coming in the ALCS when the Guardians started lefty Matthew Boyd.
The Dodgers are starting right-hander Walker Buehler on Monday.
Trevino has a weaker arm than Wells, potentially opening the door for the Dodgers to take advantage on the basepaths, but the left-handed hitting rookie had been close to a zero at the plate through 11 playoff games, batting 4-for-41 (.098) with a .330 OPS.
The veteran Trevino delivered an RBI single in his ALCS start and also pinch-hit for Wells in the ninth inning Saturday against Dodgers left-hander Alex Vesia, flying out to center field to end the game with the bases loaded and the Yankees trailing, 4-2.
