Yankees reliever Jonathan Loaisiga was placed on the 60-day IL due to a right flexor strain, a setback for the pitcher with a history of injury woes. Last season, his IL visits were due to elbow inflammation, adding to previous shoulder issues in 2021 and 2022.
Dennis Santana, called up to replace Loaisiga, brings a diverse mix of pitches including a slider with a 52% whiff rate and a changeup that puts away 21.4% of batters. His skill set is described as leaving batters confused at the plate.
