Austin Wells Ready to Handle Everyday Catching Duties in Postseason

Austin Wells is set to handle primary catching duties for the New York Yankees throughout the postseason after orchestrating a dramatic midseason turnaround. After struggling through early August with a .161 batting average, a 15-day IL stint in June for cervical headaches allowed Wells to tweak his swing. Since August 3, he has started 42 of 47 games while posting a .785 OPS, proving his durability and regaining his form ahead of Game 1 against the Boston Red Sox.
