Overview

• Jonathan Loáisiga was activated from the 15-day injured list by the Yankees on May 16, 2025, less than 13 months after undergoing UCL surgery with an internal brace.
• The Yankees designated left-hander Tyler Matzek for assignment to make room on the roster, signaling confidence in Loáisiga's readiness.
• Loáisiga had a dominant minor league rehab stint, posting a 1.23 ERA with nine strikeouts and no walks over 7 1/3 innings across six appearances.
• The original plan for Loáisiga to make back-to-back Triple-A outings was scrapped in favor of an expedited return to address the Yankees’ bullpen needs.
• Manager Aaron Boone emphasized the team’s cautious approach to Loáisiga’s usage in the coming weeks as they reintegrate him into high-leverage situations.
