The Yankees have placed Jonathan Loaisiga on the 60-day IL due to a torn UCL.
Fantasy Impact
Loaisiga will undergo season-ending surgery, although it has not been classified as Tommy John surgery. The 29-year-old is looking at a 10-to-12 month recovery timeframe.
The Yankees activated Jonathan Loaisiga from the 60-day IL.
Fantasy Impact
Loaisiga has been sidelined since the beginning of the season after undergoing surgery to remove a bone spur from his right elbow. He should provide some extra depth to the Yankees bullpen.
Jonathan Loaisiga was placed on the 15-day IL Saturday with right elbow inflammation.
Fantasy Impact
Loaisiga’s move to the IL is retroactive to April 6th. According to Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone, the 28-year-old reliever will not throw for a few weeks. Depending on how much time Loaisiga misses, he is likely going to need a rehab assignment before returning to the Yankees’ bullpen.
The Yankees reinstated Jonathan Loaisiga from the 15-day IL on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Loaisiga hasn't pitched since May 22nd after suffering a shoulder injury, but had made steady progress in his recovery. He was a key cog in the Yankees' bullpen last season, and should immediately become on again after he's activated. He could factor into the saves situation eventually, but roster him for his ratios. Anything else is a bonus.
Jonathan Loaisiga is set to begin a throwing program on Monday as he works back from shoulder discomfort as reported by MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch.
Fantasy Impact
Loaisiga has been shut down since late-May as he deals with shoulder discomfort. Loaisiga returned to the team from Nicaragua on Sunday where he had been handling a family issue. A firmer timetable will be possible after Loaisiga resumes throwing but barring any setbacks, he could return in late-June/early-July. July is more likely since the righty hasn’t thrown in nearly two weeks. The 27-year-old had really carved out a role in a stellar Yankees bullpen prior to his shoulder issues so he should slot back into a bullpen that is in the verge of getting closer Aroldis Chapman as well. Monitor Loaisiga’s progress once he starts throwing again on Monday.
