On May 16, 2025, the New York Yankees activated right-handed pitcher Jonathan Loáisiga from the injured list, significantly enhancing their bullpen options ahead of the upcoming Subway Series. This move was necessitated by the release of veteran left-hander Tyler Matzek. Loáisiga’s return comes after a successful rehabilitation following elbow reconstruction surgery over a year ago, during which he showcased his skills with just one earned run across 7 ⅓ innings in six rehab outings. Despite injuries curtailing his appearances in the previous season, he had been a formidable asset in the past two years.
The Yankees activated right-hander Jonathan Loáisiga from the injured list Friday, giving their bullpen another potential late-inning weapon ahead of the Subway Series.
Loáisiga returns just over a year after undergoing elbow reconstruction surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament.
Injuries have limited the 30-year-old Loáisiga to 20 appearances over the last season, but he was a reliable high-octane option for the Yankees during the 2021 and 2022 campaigns.
The Nicaragua native posted a 2.96 ERA in 107 relief appearances in those two seasons.
