Lou Trivino is dealing with an elbow ligament strain and will start the season on the injured list.

Fantasy Impact

Trivino has appeared in just one game this Spring before being shut down with the ligament strain. The 31-year-old posted a 1.66 ERA in 21 2/3 innings pitched after being acquired from Oakland last season.

Lou Trivinio has been traded to the New York Yankees along with right-handed pitcher Frankie Montas per Jack Curry of the YES Network.

Fantasy Impact

In 32 IP, Trivino is 1-6 with a 6.47 ERA. Heading to Oakland in the deal are JP Sears, Ken Waldichuk (Yankees #5 prospect) and Luis Medina (Yankees #10 prospect). Sears, a lefty, is 3-0 with a 2.05 ERA for New York this season. Waldichuk is 6-3 with a 2.71 ERA in Triple-AAA and Medina is 4-3 with a 3.38 ERA in Double-A

Lou Trivino pitched the ninth inning on Tuesday, getting through the ninth on five pitches as he relieved the side to earn the save in the A's 5-3 win over the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

Trivino and the A's seem to have the Astro's number this season as the team has now won two of their last three series against them. The A's reliever seems to be rounding into form as he now has 10 saves on the season, his ERA however is still not yet ideal as it sits at 6.68 which is paired with what is also a high WHIP of 1.94. The 30 year old can be rostered but he should not be used as a trade chip as he holds very little value at the moment outside of saves.

Lou Trivino tallied his ninth save of the season after allowing one run on three hits and striking out one in the ninth inning of Monday's 7-5 win over the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

Trivino was able to get the save on Monday, but it definitely wasn't pretty. The right-hander threw 19 pitches and gave up a homer before he was able to shut the door in the ninth. The 30-year-old now holds an unimpressive 6.90 ERA and a WHIP of 2.00 through 30 innings this season. He simply cannot be relied upon as a consistent fantasy option at the position.

Lou Trivino pitched the ninth inning on Sunday, striking out two, and getting out of the inning clean as he earned the save in the A's 4-3 win over the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

Trivino earned what was his eighth save of the season on Sunday. The A's reliever is pitching to the tune of a 6.59 ERA which is paired with a WHIP of 1.94. The 30 year old can be rostered due to his use in high leverage situations, but other than that he should not be counted on for high volume totals like the All-Stars in Jordan Romano or Liam Hendriks and company.
