EDGE Analysis

Loaisiga underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his right elbow in early May and was subsequently moved to the 60-day IL. The righty reliever began a throwing program in mid-June and recently progressed to mound work. Throwing to live hitters will represent another step forward in Loaisiga's recovery, and a minor-league rehab stint may follow soon thereafter. There is a possibility that Loaisiga could return to the big-league bullpen before the end of July.

EDGE Analysis

Loaisiga is just doing light games of catch for now, but it's an encouraging step forward following several weeks of rest and rehab. He has been out since early April due to an elbow injury that eventually required arthroscopic surgery in early May. The 28-year-old right-hander could be an option for the Yankees again in the second half.

This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Ryan Weber, who is joining the Yankees' bullpen ahead of their four-game series against the AL East-leading Rays. Loaisiga underwent surgery earlier this month to remove a bone spur from his right elbow and is expected to be sidelined until late in the 2023 season.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Loaisiga will undergo surgery Tuesday to remove a bone spur from his right elbow and be shut down from throwing for 3-to-6 weeks, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Meredith Marakovits of YES Network, Boone said that Loaisiga won't be ready to return from the 15-day injured list until August at the earliest, which would seem to imply that the right-hander may need more than six weeks to recover from surgery before he starts throwing again. Whatever the case, Loaisiga is headed for an extended absence after he initially appeared headed for a minimum-length stay on the IL when he was deactivated April 8 with right elbow inflammation.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters that the MRI Loaisiga underwent before Friday's game against the Rangers revealed "nothing structurally alarming," but he isn't throwing and will see a doctor next week, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Loaisiga had been experiencing renewed soreness in this elbow, and while the MRI doesn't appear to suggest there's no structural damage for the right-hander, it's concerning enough that the reliever will visit with Dr. Ahmad on Monday. Loasiga has been on the injured list since near the start of April, and has no clear timetable for a potential return.
