The New York Yankees trail the Los Angeles Dodgers by two games in the World Series before Game 3 on Monday.
After playing the first two games at Dodger Stadium, the Yankees will return home to Yankee Stadium for Game 3 as they try to get things right.
The lineup for Game 3 will feature a change at the catcher position for the Yankees, as Jose Trevino replaces Austin Wells.
Trevino revealed his thoughts on his first World Series start.
“It’s every little kid’s dream,” Trevino said.

The Yankees offense has struggled in the first two games of the series as they have scored just five runs thus far.
Wells started the first two games of the series for the Yankees at catcher, where he had one hit in eight at-bats while striking out three.
During the regular season, Trevino appeared in 73 games where he hit .215 with eight home runs, 28 runs scored and a .642 on-base plus slugging percentage.
After a no-show in the American League Division Series, Trevino has two at-bats in the American League Championship Series and one at-bat so far in the World Series.
In the third game, Trevino will start and play eighth and face Walker Buehler, who is the starter for the Dodgers.
The Yankees appear to be in dire need of a win and could make a run, as games three, four and five will be played in their home park if necessary.
