Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Trevino is going to miss "some time" after the catcher was diagnosed with a Grade 2 quadricep strain, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Trevino was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with the quad strain, but the Yankees didn't know the severity of the injury until he was sent in for an MRI. Boone didn't offer up a precise timeline for Trevino's return, but the 31-year-old backstop looks safe to rule out for multiple weeks, if not months. Trevino's absence should clear the way for Austin Wells to serve as the Yankees' clear No. 1 catcher, though the right-handed-hitting Carlos Narvaez may spell the lefty-hitting Wells when the Yankees face left-handed pitchers.

Kremer did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Yankees. He struck out four.

Kremer entered the fifth inning in relatively good shape with a 2-1 lead but allowed a leadoff homer to Trent Grisham, then allowed two more batters to reach base, including a two-out walk to Aaron Judge that spelled the end to his day. Sunday represented Kremer's third start since returning from a triceps issue, and he's been held to 83-to-85 pitches while failing to make it past the fifth in all of those outings. He'll enter the All-Star break with a 4.38 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 64 strikeouts over 63.2 innings.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Burdi (hip) recently had a setback in his rehab but is now ramping back up, MLB.com reports.

The nature of Burdi's setback isn't clear, but it appears to have been a relatively minor one. The righty reliever threw off a mound at the Yankees' complex Friday as he continues to work toward a rehab stint. Burdi could still be ready to return to the big-league club before the end of July, though his timeframe for activation from the 60-day IL remains hazy.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Berti (calf) has been running at approximately 95 percent as well as hitting and throwing, MLB.com reports.

Berti is approaching a minor-league rehab assignment, which could begin shortly after the All-Star break. He's been on the injured list since May 25 as a result of a left calf strain. Berti will likely work as a utility man in a reserve role upon his return from the IL.

The Yankees optioned Vivas to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.

Vivas was called up from Triple-A on Friday but went unused throughout the weekend and is still awaiting his MLB debut. He'll get regular playing time once he rejoins Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, with whom he was slashing .258/.404/.424 over 166 plate appearances on the season prior to receiving a promotion.

Rizzo continues to be restricted in his recovery from a fracture of his right forearm, as he's currently limited to activities in the weight room, MLB.com reports.

Rizzo said he'd be unable to resume baseball activities for 4-to-5 weeks following his placement on the injured list June 18, so it's not a surprise that he hasn't yet begun to ramp up. The veteran slugger said Friday that he's "feeling good" and that the forearm has "progressed a lot" while acknowledging that he still has "some pain." While Rizzo has been out of action, rookie Ben Rice has stepped up to assume an everyday role at first base.

Kirk is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Kirk hasn't overtaken Danny Jansen as the Blue Jays' clear No. 1 backstop, but he started in both of the previous two contests and has turned the catcher position into more of a timeshare lately. The Blue Jays have been more willing to make room in the lineup for Kirk recently due to his hot bat; he's recorded at least one hit in each of his last six games and is slashing .476/.462/.571 overall during that stretch.

Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The 39-year-old will get a break in the series finale after he had started in each of the last six games while going just 1-for-24 with nine strikeouts. George Springer will get a day out of the outfield and will replace Turner as the Blue Jays' designated hitter.

Jimenez will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Jimenez will crack the lineup for the sixth time in seven contests and for the fourth game in a row as a replacement at shortstop for Bo Bichette (calf). The Blue Jays haven't yet placed Bichette on the injured list, and the team's decision thus far to eschew deactivating him implies optimism that he'll be ready to go coming out of the All-Star break. Since receiving his first big-league call-up July 2, Jimenez has gone 7-for-19 with a double, two walks, three runs and an RBI.

Bichette (calf) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Bichette will miss his fourth contest in a row due to a right calf strain, but the Blue Jays' decision not to place him on the injured list offers hope that he'll be ready to go coming out of the All-Star break. Leo Jimenez will once again fill in at shortstop in place of Bichette, who will turn his sights toward a return to the lineup next Friday versus the Tigers.
