Jonathan Loáisiga will miss the remainder of the season with a right flexor strain confirmed by tests. The team currently expects he will not require surgery and holds a club option for 2026. Loáisiga began a rehab assignment while dealing with back stiffness and made 30 relief appearances this season, posting a 4.25 ERA and 1.483 WHIP with 25 strikeouts. Ryan Yarbrough is returning from a right oblique issue and will be used out of the bullpen. At Triple-A he threw 11 innings with a 4.09 ERA, 0.909 WHIP and 12 strikeouts; in the majors he posted a 3.90 ERA in 55.1 innings.
Yankees reliever Jonathan Loáisiga will not pitch for the rest of the season due to right flexor strain, manager Aaron Boone announced ahead of Thursday's series opener against the Chicago White Sox. The right-handed veteran underwent tests last week after reporting soreness in his right elbow/triceps area, and the injury will end his season. However, as of now, the team is hopeful he will not need any surgery or procedure. The Yanks hold a club option for the 2026 season for the 30-year-old.
Yarbrough, who has been out since mid-June with a right oblique issue, is set to return to the active roster, and the plan is to use the left-hander out of the bullpen, Boone said Thursday. In his last outing at Triple-A, he pitched 4.2 innings, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk with six strikeouts. In three appearances with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Yarbrough has pitched to a 4.09 ERA and 0.909 WHIP with 12 strikeouts in 11 innings.
