Loaisiga was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Loaisiga will take the roster spot of CC Sabathia (knee), who was sent to the injured list in a corresponding move Saturday. The right-hander pitched two innings in his most recent appearance for the RailRiders, so he'll likely fill a long-relief role for the Yankees down the stretch. Across six appearances with the big club this season, Loaisiga owns a 5.12 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB across 19.1 innings.

Loaisiga was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Friday's game.

EDGE Analysis

Loaisiga was activated from the injured list Aug. 13. He's made two appearances since, working 2.2 innings on each occasion and surrendering a total of four earned runs on five hits. Cory Gearrin will replace him in the Yankees' bullpen.

Loaisiga (shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Two of his three rehab outings were scoreless appearances, with him fanning a total of eight batters in 5.2 innings. He did not log more than three innings in any of his rehab appearances, and figures to occupy a long-relief role down the stretch. Loaisiga could also operate as a primary pitcher if the Yankees deploy an opener again.

Loaisiga (shoulder) could be activated in the coming week, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

He tossed three scoreless innings Friday in a rehab start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, striking out four while walking none and giving up just one hit. It sounds like his next work could come in a big-league uniform. Loaisiga will be capable of working as a long reliever or spot starter for the Yankees down the stretch.

Loaisiga (shoulder) made his second rehab appearance Sunday at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, retiring two of the six batters he faced while surrendering three runs on three hits and a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Loaisiga kicked off his rehab assignment with Double-A Trenton on Tuesday, tossing two scoreless innings in what was his first action at any level since May 8. He was expected to work deeper into Sunday's outing, but he was only able to build up to 32 pitches before being pulled from the contest while the opposition was hitting him hard. Expect the 24-year-old to make at least one or two more rehab appearances in the minors before the Yankees entertain activating him. Loaisiga is expected to serve as a multi-inning reliever once he's reinstated.

Loaisiga will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Trenton on Tuesday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Loaisiga has been out since mid-May with a shoulder strain. He had thrown just 14 big-league innings prior to the injury, posting a 4.50 ERA and a 13:8 K:BB. He's expected to pitch exclusively out of the bullpen once activated.

Loaisiga (shoulder) will head out on a rehab assignment following Saturday's side session and will pitch out of the big-league bullpen when he is activated from the 10-day injured list, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The key news here is that Loaisiga won't be an option to enter the big-league rotation, severely limiting his fantasy value going forward in 2019. He has not pitched in a game since May 8, so it may be a lengthy rehab assignment by relief-pitcher standards.

Loaisiga (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a three-inning simulated game Thursday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Loaisiga (shoulder) has been sidelined since mid-May with a shoulder injury but is closing in on a return. The right-hander will need to complete a rehab assignment before being activated, but once healthy, he's expected to be used as a starter.

The Yankees plan on using Loaisiga (shoulder) as a starter when he's activated from the injured list, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Loaisiga has been on the shelf since May 13 due to a right shoulder strain, but he did begin throwing again Tuesday. Skipper Aaron Boone noted that he still intends on stretching Loaisiga out as a starter, though the right-hander could also be used in a relief role, depending on what the team needs at that time. Loaisiga still has a long road ahead of him before receiving the green light, as he's not eligible to return from the injured list until after the All-Star break.

Loaisiga (shoulder) resumed throwing Tuesday, completing 50 tosses off flat ground at 60 feet, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Loaisiga was expected to be shut down for four weeks after landing on the injured list with a right rotator cuff strain May 13, and he did indeed stick to that timeline. He's been placed on the 60-day injured list, so he won't be eligible to return until after the All-Star break.
