Wed Jan 3122:26Yankees Considering Making Jonathan Loaisiga A Multi-Inning Reliever
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.

Tue Sep 12 202314:48Jonathan Loaisiga Hits The 15-Day Injured List
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.

Sun Jul 23 202316:26Jonathan Loaisiga Expected To Start Rehab Assignment
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.

Sat Apr 29 202318:34Jonathan Loaisiga Has Good News With Recent MRI
New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga (elbow) had an MRI recently that showed "nothing structurally alarming" with his elbow. Loaisiga was playing catch just a few days ago but is now back to not throwing after feeling soreness in his latest throwing session. He will get another look with doctors on Monday to see what the next course of action will be. It looks like he's still a bit off from returning.

Tue Apr 25 202308:48Jonathan Loaisiga Plays Catch Monday
New York Yankees right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga (elbow) played catch for the second time in four days on Monday. He's trying to build up stamina to pitch in a Minor League rehab assignment, which will probably come in a few weeks. Loaisiga went down with elbow inflammation earlier in the season and hasn't pitched since April 5. Before the injury, the 28-year-old was running a 2.70 ERA, 7.7% strikeout rate, and 0.60 WHIP with a pair of holds across 3.1 innings. Loaisiga will look to bounce back from a disappointing 2022 when he returns, a season that saw him post a 4.13 ERA. Fantasy managers will have to be patient but should see a handful of holds when the former prospect is back.

Sat Apr 8 202311:57Jonathan Loaisiga Heading To The 15-Day IL
New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday, retroactive to April 6. The 28-year-old has compiled a 2.70 ERA this season (three games). He also has two holds, so it's an unwelcome development for those in leagues that count them. Hopefully, the elbow inflammation Loaisiga is dealing with isn't a precursor to something more severe, and he'll be back on the bump soon. But in the meantime, Jhony Brito was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to help fill the void.

Tue Mar 7 202311:23Jonathan Loaisiga "Looks Outstanding"
New York Yankees right-handed reliever Jonathan Loaisiga "looks outstanding" this spring, according to manager Aaron Boone. Loaisiga had the distinction of being the slowest pitcher in baseball last year with nobody on base, but this year he'll be forced to speed up with the new pitch clock in play. He had a 7.02 ERA over 16 2/3 innings last May when he landed on the injured list. But thanks to a mechanical tweak after he returned, he finished with a 1.76 ERA in his final 31 games. The Yankees are banking on Loaisiga returning to his second-half form from a year ago as one of their most trusted high-leverage bullpen arms. The 28-year-old won't have many save chances, but he'll be plenty useful in holds leagues if he pitches like he did down the stretch in 2022.

Sat Jan 14 202319:40Yankees, Jonathan Loaisiga Avoid Arbitration
Right-handed relieverJonathan Loaisigaand the New York Yankees settled on a one-year, $2.3 million deal to avoid salary arbitration. The 28-year-old is a crucial component of the Yankees bullpen and is expected to make a similar impact in 2023. The right-hander was less effective than the Yankees had hoped in 2022, but he suffered a shoulder injury at the beginning of the season. His 4.13 ERA was nearly double his 2.17 ERA in 2022, but Loaisiga will get his chance to re-establish himself. He made 50 appearances this past season and yielded a career-high 22 earned runs. The right-hander hopes to reinvigorate his fiery approach toward the game and play a vital role in the Yankees' bullpen this coming season.

Thu Jul 14 202216:57Jonathan Loaisiga Activated On Thursday
The New York Yankees activated relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga (shoulder) from the injured list on Thursday. He is taking the roster spot of left-hander JP Sears, who was optioned on Wednesday. Loaisiga landed on the injured list in late May due to right shoulder inflammation. The 27-year-old was one of the team's top relievers in 2021, racking up 18 holds while pitching to a 2.17 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. He had a few rough outings this year before landing on the injured list, which led to his ugly 7.02 ERA and 1.56 WHIP on the year. He should be back in a high-leverage setup role for the team going forward.

Sat Jun 25 202213:08Jonathan Loaisiga Tosses His First Bullpen Session Saturday
New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga (shoulder) completed his first bullpen session on Saturday. Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated that Loaisiga looked great in the session. Boone added that Loaisiga will need at least a few more bullpen sessions as well as some live batting practice sessions prior to being sent on a minor league rehab assignment. Loaisiga has been on the injured list for about a month now due to right shoulder inflammation. He has a 7.02 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP across 16.2 innings this season, but he was one of the team's top relievers in 2021 when he compiled 18 holds and five saves to go along with a 2.17 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP.

Mon Jun 13 202210:18Jonathan Loaisiga To Begin Throwing Program Monday
New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga (shoulder) is set to begin a throwing program on Monday. The 27-year-old has been on the 15-day injured list since May 25 due to right shoulder inflammation. He was shut down from throwing upon landing on the injured list. He then traveled to Nicaragua to attend to a family matter. He returned to the team on Sunday. The right-hander has been decent overall this year, but a few disastrous outings have led to him having an ugly 7.02 ERA and 1.56 WHIP across 16.2 innings.

Wed May 25 202216:43Jonathan Loaisiga Heading To The Injured List
The New York Yankees will be placing relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list due to shoulder discomfort, according to Yankees manager Aaron Boone. Loaisiga was roughed up in his last trip to the mound, which came on Sunday in Game 2 of the team's doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox. He was tagged for four earned runs in just 2/3 of an inning in the game. The Yankees' bullpen has been ravaged by injuries this week. Chad Green (elbow) was the first to land on the injured list and he is out for the remainder of the season. Closer Aroldis Chapman (Achilles) was then placed on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday.

Wed Sep 29 202119:44Jonathan Loaisiga Activated From The Injured List
The New York Yankees activated relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga (shoulder) from the injured list on Wednesday. The 26-year-old right-hander was sidelined for about three weeks with a right shoulder strain. He's been one of the top arms out of the Yankees' bullpen this year, so the timing of his activation is ideal as the Yankees are fighting for a playoff birth. Loaisiga has appeared in 54 games this year and he has gone 9-4 with a 2.25 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP. He's also tallied 18 holds and five saves along the way. Pitcher Andrew Heaney was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Heaney and the Yankees negotiated an agreement that would allow for him to be optioned to the minors and give the team flexibility.

Thu Sep 16 202118:22Jonathan Loaisiga Will Start Throwing On Friday
New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga (shoulder) will start throwing on Friday, manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Thursday. The 26-year-old right-hander was placed on the injured list on September 5 with a strained rotator cuff. There is still no exact timeline set for when he will return, so fantasy managers should keep an eye out for updates. Loaisiga is having his best season at the major league level, tallying a 9-4 record with a 2.25 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and 66:15 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 68 innings pitched.

Wed Aug 18 202101:36Jonathan Loaisiga Locks Down Two-Inning Save
New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga locked down a two-inning save in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox, but he came awfully close to blowing it, loading the bases with no outs in the bottom of the seventh inning before weaseling his way out of trouble. All told, he gave up no runs on three hits and no walks with three strikeouts. It's his fifth save of the year to go with 16 holds. Loaisiga has been very valuable in leagues that count both those numbers, but he holds only limited short-term value in traditional configurations, as Chad Green is getting plenty of save opportunities as well with Aroldis Chapman sidelined.

Sat Aug 7 202117:08Jonathan Loaisiga Records Fourth Save
New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga picked up his fourth save of the season in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Mariners. With Aroldis Chapman (elbow) on the injured list, Loaisiga was called upon to lock down the victory for New York. He didn't disappoint, needing just eight pitches to pick up three quick outs. The effort lowered Loaisiga's ERA and WHIP to 2.48 and 1.05, respectively, to go along with eight wins, four saves, and 14 holds in 54 1/3 innings. He's unlikely to be the primary closer in Chapman's absence, as the Yankees seem to value him in multiple roles, though he will certainly be tasked with the ninth inning from time to time until the Yankee closer returns.

Sun Aug 1 202110:00Jonathan Loaisiga Records Third Save
New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga picked up his third save of the season in Saturday's 4-2 win over Miami. Loaisiga put a couple of runners on base but worked his way out of the jam, picking up a strikeout in the process. The Yankees went with the 26-year-old in the ninth over Aroldis Chapman- as the latter had pitched three times in the last four games- and Loaisiga didn't disappoint, lowering his season ratios to a strong 2.63 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. His Statcast page suggests these numbers have largely been deserving, thanks to his impressive ability to force hitters into weak contact. While he won't always pitch the ninth, his ability to rack up wins, holds, and boost ratios should make him a solid piece of more fantasy teams.

Sun Jul 25 202122:53Red Sox score 5 runs in 8th inning, rally past Yankees 5-4
BOSTON (AP) — Held hitless into the eighth inning by Domingo Germán and looking feeble, Alex Verdugo and the Boston Red Sox suddenly erupted for five runs and stormed past the New York Yankees 5-4 Sunday. Verdugo opened the eighth with a long double for Boston’s first hit. Later, Kiké Hernández slid home headfirst on Xander Bogaerts’ sacrifice fly with the go-ahead run to cap the rally. The Red Sox won for the 10th time in 13 games against the Yankees and reclaimed first place in the AL East, a game ahead of Tampa Bay. New York fell nine games behind Boston. Boston trailed 4-0 when Verdugo doubled to deep right, and Germán was lifted after the hit. Jonathan Loaisiga (7-4) relieved, and Boston broke loose with four straight hits. Hunter Renfroe had an RBI double, Christian Vázquez singled home a run and Hernández followed with an RBI double, cutting it to 4-3. Zack Britton relieved and pinch-hitter Kevin Plawecki’s groundout plated the tying run. Hernández hustled hard and beat right fielder... [More]

Fri Jul 23 202117:43Yankees pitchers Cortes, Loaisiga activated from COVID list
BOSTON (AP) — Yankees pitchers Nestor Cortes and Jonathan Loaisiga have been reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list, the first of six New York players to go on the list before the start of the second half of the season. To make room on the roster Friday, right-hander Darren O'Day (left hamstring strain) was transferred to the 60-day IL and right-hander Nick Nelson was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Manager Aaron Boone said before Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox that the rest of the players that were part of the recent COVID-19 outbreak are also getting closer to rejoining the active roster. Third baseman Gio Urshela is now with the team in Boston and could be activated as soon as Sunday. Outfielder Aaron Judge and catcher Kyle Higashioka are on pace to at least rejoin the team in Boston Sunday and may be ready Tuesday for the opener of New York's series at Tampa Bay. Boone said left-hander Wandy Peralta could be given a rehab assignment before being activated to the major league roster. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
