New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga earned the first save of his career in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Indians. Loaisiga entered the game in the eighth inning with two outs and got Ahmed Rosario to pop up on his second pitch before working a 1-2-3, 10-pitch ninth inning for his first career save. The 26-year-old right-hander has been a jack-of-all-trades in the Yankee bullpen, as he has two wins, a hold, and a save while owning a strong 1.35 ERA with 13 strikeouts to just one walk. He certainly has some fantasy appeal in deeper leagues, particularly category formats where managers could benefit from his stellar ratios.--Tim Capurso

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga (elbow) is still a few weeks away from joining the team. Loaisiga will have to get in back-to-back rehab appearances before he's activated from the injured list. When he does return, though, Boone doesn't necessarily view him as a one-inning guy out of the bullpen. The 30-year-old veteran was scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Single-A Tampa last Saturday. Loaisiga is attempting to return from an internal-brace procedure that he had on his right elbow just over a year ago. When he's finally ready, he could be a high-leverage option at the back end of New York's bullpen He has only seven saves in his seven years in the big leagues, but he proved in 2023 that he could be a valuable member of the bullpen after posting a 3.06 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 17 appearances in relief.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

New York Yankees right-hander 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.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

New York Yankees right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga (elbow) said he is targeting an end of May/beginning of June return this year, according to the New York Daily News' Gary Phillips. Loaisiga hasn't been able to escape elbow issues the last two years and tore his right UCL early last year. However, the 30-year-old veteran didn't need a full Tommy John procedure and could return to the Yankees at the tail end of the first half of the season, barring any setbacks in his recovery. The Nicaraguan hurler has only appeared in 20 games out of the bullpen the last two years for the Yankees because of his injuries, although he could play a key middle-relief role in the Bronx in the second half in 2025 if he's healthy. Loaisiga has pitched in high-leverage spots for the Yankees in the past, although his lack of strikeout upside doesn't make him all that attractive in deep fantasy leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

New York Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake said the hope is that right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga (elbow) will be ready to pitch for the team in late April or early May. Loaisiga avoided Tommy John surgery and instead had a UCL repair of his right elbow in April of this year. The 30-year-old veteran still has some rehab to do, but as long as he doesn't suffer a setback, his 2025 debut won't be delayed for too long. Despite not being fully healthy, the Yankees re-signed the Nicaraguan hurler. Loaisiga made his MLB debut in 2018 with the Yankees and has a 3.44 career ERA (3.59 FIP), a 1.23 WHIP, seven saves and a 207:72 K:BB in 219 2/3 innings over 163 appearances (11 starts). Because of his injury, Loaisiga is most likely to be a bullpen option for the Yankees when he returns, giving him little fantasy appeal.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
