Overview

  • Arizona added right-hander Jonathan Loáisiga on a minor-league contract with a spring-training invite, first reported by ESPN’s Jorge Castillo, with terms undisclosed.
  • Loáisiga, 31, spent eight seasons with the Yankees, appearing in 193 games with a 3.54 ERA and a 232/82 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
  • He worked roughly 30 games in 2025 with a 4.25 ERA before a flexor strain ended his season.
  • The signing targets relief depth for a unit thinned by injuries to Justin Martinez and A.J. Puk.
  • The move accompanies a busy day for Arizona, which also acquired third baseman Nolan Arenado from the Cardinals on Tuesday.
