Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Will Banfield will handle the catching duties for Cincinnati on Sunday after Trevino started behind the plate in each of the previous seven games behind the plate while going 4-for-24 with three RBI and a run scored. Trevino should continue to see the bulk of the playing time at catcher while top backstop Tyler Stephenson (thumb) is on the injured list.

Reds' Jose Trevino: Productive in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Trevino went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Phillies.
The veteran catcher kicked off a two-run rally in the third inning with a one-out single, coming home on a Spencer Steer two-bagger, and Trevino then played a key role in a three-run sixth that broke the game open. He continues to split time with Tyler Stephenson behind the plate, and through five starts in August, Trevino is batting .263 (5-for-19) with a double, two RBI and three runs.

Reds' Jose Trevino: Losing out on playing time
Rotowire
Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
With top backstop Tyler Stephenson seeing less time at designated hitter of late and most of his starts behind the dish, Trevino has begun to see his playing time dip. The veteran has also gone 1-for-14 with four strikeouts over his last four starts.

Reds' Jose Trevino: Playing time picking up
Rotowire
Trevino will start at catcher and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Yankees.
Tyler Stephenson remains the Reds' No. 1 catcher, but Trevino has been seeing more work of late behind the dish while Stephenson has become more of a factor at designated hitter. Gavin Lux had been serving as the Reds' primary DH, but he's been getting more exposure to third base in recent days while the Reds have struggled to generate production at the position from Santiago Espinal and Christian Encarnacion-Strand. Though Encarnacion-Strand will cover the hot corner Monday, Lux will play left field to keep the DH spot open for Stephenson, thereby paving the way for Trevino to start at catcher for the third time in four games. Expect Trevino's playing time to eventually take a hit once Noelvi Marte (oblique) returns from the IL and likely steps back in as the Reds' everyday third baseman.

Reds' Jose Trevino: Scores lone run in loss
Rotowire
Trevino went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-1 loss to Milwaukee.
Trevino collected his ninth multi-hit performance of the season and is up to a team-high tying 14 doubles through 40 games. The backup catcher's production dropped off since Tyler Stephenson made his season debut May 2. Trevino, who was hitting .324 at the time of Stephenson's activation, is batting .255 (12-for-47) with eight doubles and three RBI over his last 14 contests.

Reds' Jose Trevino: Stays productive
Rotowire
Trevino went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 11-8 loss to the Cubs.
Trevino had another productive day at the plate, singling in a run in the first inning and doubling home a run in the fifth that gave the Reds an 8-3 lead at the time. Unfortunately for Cincinnati, the bullpen gave it all back and then some. Trevino is enjoying a career season with a line of .298/.333/.500 through 36 games. He remains the backup to Tyler Stephenson, but the Reds like to use the starter at DH as well, which gets Trevino in the lineup three to four times per week.

Reds' Jose Trevino: Records three doubles in loss
Rotowire
Trevino went 3-for-4 with three doubles and an RBI in Thursday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.
While Trevino's workload has lessened since the return of Tyler Stephenson, the backup has still played every other day while Stephenson has alternated between catcher and designated hitter. Regular at-bats over the first month of the season led to the most productive offensive stretch of Trevino's career, and he's slashing .310/.344/.524 through 29 games. If manager Terry Francona continues to get Stephenson's bat in the lineup as much as possible without wearing him out with heavy usage behind the plate, Trevino should continue to get three or four starts a week.

Reds' Jose Trevino: Back on bench Monday
Rotowire
Trevino is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.
Trevino had started behind the plate in three of his last four games, but he'll likely move into more of a part-time role moving forward after Tyler Stephenson returned from the injured list Friday. The Reds will have the luxury of using Stephenson at designated hitter on occasions while all of Austin Hays (hamstring), Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back) and Jeimer Candelario (back) are on the shelf, so at least in the short term, Trevino should still play more frequently than most No. 2 catchers.

Reds' Jose Trevino: Gets Reds on board early
Rotowire
Trevino went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Thursday's 9-1 win over the Cardinals.
Trevino put the Reds up early with a two-run homer in the second inning and later delivered a run with a sacrifice fly. He's filled in well for Tyler Stephenson (oblique), posting a .909 OPS with three homers through 25 games, but Trevino's run as the primary backstop could end this weekend. Stephenson made what was expected to be his final rehab start Thursday.
