Jonathan Loaisiga Nearing Rehab Assignment
Jonathan Loaisiga (elbow) threw live batting practice at Yankee Stadium on Saturday and again on Wednesday. He is scheduled to throw another live batting practice session on Saturday and Sunday in Tampa, Fla., as he nears a minor-league rehab assignment. The 30-year-old was placed on the 15-day injured list on March 24 as he recovers from right UCL surgery, and he's not expected to return to the Yankees until around late May or early June. Loaisiga had an internal-brace procedure last April but is getting close to pitching in games. The Nicaraguan hurler has thrown only 21 2/3 innings in the big leagues since 2022 due to elbow issues, but he could return to being a high-leverage reliever in the Bronx if he can bounce back in 2025. For now, fantasy managers can continue to ignore him in all formats.
