Yankees Re-Sign Jonathan Loáisiga Despite Injury Concerns

The reliever agrees to a one-year deal with a 2026 team option as he recovers from elbow surgery, aiming for an April return.

Jonathan Loáisiga has signed a one-year contract with the New York Yankees, including a team option for the 2026 season.
The 30-year-old reliever is recovering from season-ending elbow surgery but is expected to return to action by late April 2025.
Loáisiga has a history of injuries, appearing in only three games in 2024 and 17 in 2023 due to arm-related issues.
At his peak in 2021, Loáisiga posted a 2.17 ERA over 70.2 innings, showcasing his effectiveness as a high-leverage bullpen option.
The Yankees aim to bolster their bullpen after losing key relievers, with Loáisiga bringing familiarity and potential despite his durability concerns.
