"Jonathan Loáisiga appears to be in for another significant absence. Yankees manager Aaron Boone tells reporters (including Brendan Kuty of The Athletic) that the oft-injured reliever is believed to have suffered a flexor strain. A more specific diagnosis and treatment plan will be known after the righty goes for a second opinion. Loáisiga was already on the 15-day injured list due to mid-back tightness."
"Arm injuries are unfortunately nothing new for Loáisiga. He lost most of last season to a flexor repair that kept him from making his season debut until May. Loáisiga had previously undergone a full Tommy John surgery while he was in the minor leagues. He'd spent time on the IL with shoulder problems in 2019, 2021 and '22. A pair of elbow-related IL stints kept him to 17 games in 2023."
Jonathan Loáisiga likely suffered a forearm flexor strain and will undergo a second opinion to determine a specific diagnosis and treatment plan. He was on the 15-day injured list for mid-back tightness and began a rehab assignment before sustaining the forearm injury during a Triple-A appearance. The injury could end his season and possibly affect his 2026 availability. Loáisiga previously underwent a flexor repair, full Tommy John surgery, and multiple IL stints. He has a 4.25 ERA through 29 2/3 innings and an 18.5% strikeout rate this year, with over two home runs allowed per nine.
