Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Jonathan Loaisiga, 31-year-old right-handed relief pitcher, was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation after his last appearance on Wednesday in a win over Philadelphia. He is currently with the Arizona Diamondbacks after previously playing 8 years with the New York Yankees. The Yankees' bullpen struggles have led to speculation about a potential reunion with Loaisiga, though his current injury status makes immediate return unlikely.
