Jonathan Loáisiga News
The New York Yankees are considering making right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga a multi-inning reliever this year. Of his 160 appearances for the Yankees in his six years in the big leagues, only 11 have been starts. He hasn't started a game since the shortened 2020 campaign. It could be asking a lot of the 29-year-old to help replace Michael King, who was sent to the Padres in the blockbuster deal for Juan Soto. Elbow issues limited Loaisiga to just 17 relief outings in 2023, in which he allowed only seven runs (six earned) while walking one and striking out six in 17 2/3 frames. He's only thrown more than 48 innings in one season (2021) and has struck out just 204 hitters in 215 2/3 career innings. Loaisiga isn't lining up to be fantasy relevant in many leagues in 2024.
New York Yankees reliever Jonathan Loaisiga has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation. In a corresponding move, right-hander Zach McAllister was signed to a major league contract and selected to the active roster prior to Tuesday's doubleheader with the rival Red Sox. Additionally, first baseman Anthony Rizzo has been transferred to the 60-day injured list (concussion symptoms). The 28-year-old Loaisiga has appeared in just 17 games this season after having a bone spur removed from the same elbow early in the season, working to a quality 3.06 ERA in that time, although his 4.71 SIERA and minuscule 8.7% K% left plenty to be desired. It would not be surprising to see the Yankees shut the hard-throwing righty down for the remainder of the season given his long list of injury woes.
New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga (elbow) faced live hitters on Sunday. The 28-year-old made only three appearances this season before undergoing surgery to remove a bone spur in his elbow. He was decent in limited action, amassing a 2.70 ERA. Loaisiga's next step will be a rehab assignment, which he's expected to begin on Saturday. However, he'll likely need a few games to shake off residual rust before returning to the big club.
