Overview

  • Manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Loáisiga will miss the rest of 2025 with a right flexor strain following his specialist exam.
  • The Yankees do not expect an immediate procedure, and Boone said he thinks the previously repaired UCL is OK.
  • Loáisiga was on the injured list with mid-back tightness earlier this month, then experienced elbow soreness near a return that led to the diagnosis.
  • In 30 appearances this season, the right-hander recorded a 4.25 ERA and 5.82 FIP and allowed a career-high seven home runs.
  • New York now faces a bullpen depth test as it weighs whether to exercise his $5 million club option for next season.
