Giants' Lou Trivino: Competing for bullpen spot
Rotowire
Trivino threw a scoreless inning while striking out two in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Mariners.
Trivino has not appeared in a big-league game since 2022 after undergoing Tommy John surgery, and Thursday's outing marked his Cactus League debut. He had success for several years out of the Athletics' bullpen spanning 2018-21 and is in the Giants' camp as a non-roster invitee. If Trivino proves to be healthy, he should gain consideration as an option to break camp with the big-league club.

Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) will throw a live batting practice session Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Trivino -- who is attending Giants camp as a non-roster invitee -- confirmed that he's back to full health after he was limited to a handful of rehab appearances in the minors in 2024 while he completed his recovery from May 2023 Tommy John surgery and then battled a shoulder issue in September. During his last healthy MLB season in 2022, Trivino made 64 relief appearances between the Athletics and Yankees, submitting a 4.53 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 67:24 K:BB while collecting 11 saves and four holds across 53.2 innings. He'll likely be vying for a low-leverage relief role in the Giants' Opening Day bullpen.

Rotowire
The Giants signed Trivino (elbow/shoulder) to a minor-league contract Thursday with an invitation to spring training, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Lou Trivino: Option turned down by Yankees
Rotowire
The Yankees declined Trivino's (elbow) $5 million club option for 2025 on Sunday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
The right-hander hasn't seen a big-league mound since 2022 and spent this year working his way back from Tommy John surgery, so it's not a surprise New York wasn't willing to commit to a $5 million salary. Trivino had a 4.53 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 67:24 K:BB in 64 outings between the Yankees and A's in 2022.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Shut down from throwing
Rotowire
Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Trivino (elbow) has been shut down due to "shoulder stuff," Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Trivino had been working his way back from Tommy John surgery and recently agreed to extend his rehab assignment, but it's a moot point now that his shoulder's barking. Boone was vague and didn't disclose the extent of the issue, so it's unclear whether Trivino could still be an option in the postseason.

Yankees' Lou Trivino: Extends rehab assignment
Rotowire
Trivino (elbow) agreed in mid-September to extend his minor-league rehab assignment an additional 10 days, per MLB.com.
Trivino continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery performed last May and a bout of right elbow inflammation that sprung up this April. Though he has a 4.91 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 11 rehab appearances, the veteran reliever has pitched three consecutive scoreless outings during which he's posted a 3:3 K:BB over 3.2 innings. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sept. 14 that Trivino has been "building a lot of good momentum," and there's still a chance the right-hander could join the New York bullpen before the end of the season.
