The Yankees revealed Jose Trevino will miss the rest of the season because of an injury he's tried to play through, days after Aaron Boone said he was fine.

There's a reason a lot of Yankees fans don't take Aaron Boone seriously. It's not just because his in-game decision making is suspect. It's because he says things that are so unserious.

When you boil it down, it's the way he pretends that things are a certain way, when they are clearly not. Like when he excused Gleyber Torres' errors. Or when he got defensive about the obvious mistake of not walking Shohei Ohtani.

On Friday, the news of Jose Trevino's season-ending wrist surgery became yet another example of how unserious Boone is.

Aaron Boone said Jose Trevino was healthy days before season-ending surgery

Not a week earlier, Boone told reporters that his catcher was physically okay and just dealing with the usual bang-ups that catchers have, as Gary Phillips pointed out.

Instead, it turns out, Trevino has been dealing with the wrist issue since spring training. He told reporters he thought he could play through the pain, per Bryan Hoch. A wrist injury that ultimately requires surgery is not the "usual bang-ups" for a catcher.

Trevino going from "okay physically" to "out for the season" wasn't even the first time Boone has downplayed a player's status to the frustration of fans. Just look at the Aaron Judge situation, which went from talk of a "day-to-day" bruise to a reveal of a torn ligament and weeks out of the lineup. It's been a month and a half and he's only just started running the bases.

Managers obscure information from the outside. That's a generally accepted practice. But the way the Yankees have done it under Boone has only made each of these situations worse.

Pull the bandaid off in one go and just admit when errors are a problem or an injury is more serious than the team had hoped.
