Yankees Bench Austin Wells in World Series

The New York Yankees face a daunting 3-0 deficit in the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, having struggled offensively with only seven runs in three games. Rookie catcher Austin Wells has been particularly underwhelming, batting just .098 in the postseason, prompting manager Aaron Boone to start veteran Jose Trevino in Game 3. Trevino's offensive stats are not significantly better, but he offers defensive stability, especially against the Dodgers' right-handed pitcher Walker Buehler. Despite the lineup changes, the Yankees' overall performance has been disappointing, with star players like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton also struggling at the plate. Boone remains hopeful that Wells can contribute positively in Game 4 as the team attempts a historic comeback. The Yankees' batting average for the series stands at a dismal .197, emphasizing the urgent need for improved offensive output.
