Loaisiga (shoulder) will likely be activated Wednesday, per MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander recently tossed a pair of successful bullpen sessions, setting him up for an imminent return to the active roster. Loaisiga last pitched Sept. 3, but he will likely be asked to handled a high-leverage bullpen role upon his return. He has been an invaluable part of the team's relief corps this season, notching nine wins, 17 holds and four saves while posting a 2.25 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 66:15 K:BB across 54 appearances.

Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Loaisiga (shoulder) could be activated during the team's upcoming series against the Blue Jays, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Loaisiga threw a bullpen session Friday and still appears to be on the right track in his recovery. It's not yet clear whether the right-hander will require a rehab assignment before he's reinstated from the injured list, but he wouldn't require many appearances if he reports to the minor-league club.

Loaisiga (shoulder) threw from 120 feet Tuesday and will do the same Wednesday before throwing a bullpen session Friday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander continues to make steady progress after hitting the injured list Sept. 5 with a strained right rotator cuff. The plans for Loaisiga beyond Friday's bullpen session aren't entirely clear, but even if the next step is to go on a minor-league rehab assignment, he should still have a chance to return for the last series or two of the regular season.

Loaisiga (shoulder) is expected to throw off flat ground three straight days this week before potentially returning to mound work next weekend, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Loasiga resumed throwing Friday and won't throw Monday before ramping up his throwing program again. The 27-year-old could return for the final week of the regular season if he continues to progress well in his recovery.

Loaisiga (shoulder) is expected to resume throwing Friday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Loaisiga landed on the 10-day injured list with a strained rotator cuff Sept. 5, and he'll resume playing catch just under two weeks later. The right-hander doesn't yet have a clear timetable to return, but his status should come into focus once he's able to ramp up his throwing.

Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Loaisiga (shoulder) is "close" to throwing and is "making positive strides" after landing on the injured list last week, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander moved to the IL on Sept. 5 after suffering a strained rotator cuff. While Boone noted the progress, the club is still unsure of when exactly he'll resume playing catch. Once he's able to ramp up his throwing, Loaisiga's return timeline should gain some clarity, but for the time being it looks like he has a decent chance to return before the end of the regular season.

Loaisiga was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a strained right rotator cuff, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander will be re-evaluated after not throwing for 10 days, suggesting he'll spend longer than the minimum time on the IL. His absence is a huge blow to the Yankees' bullpen, as he's arguably been the most reliable late-inning option for manager Aaron Boone throughout the season. Albert Abreu was recalled Sunday to pick up some of the slack left by Loaisiga.

Loaisiga (9-4) earned the win during Thursday's 7-6 victory against Oakland, allowing one walk with two strikeouts in two innings.
EDGE Analysis
Loaisiga pitched the seventh and eighth inning for New York and became the pitcher of record when it took the lead in the top of the ninth. The 26-year-old is enjoying a blistering August that features a 0.68 in 13.1 innings and he remains a key cog in the Yankees bullpen.

Loaisiga gave up three hits over two scoreless innings to record his fifth save of the season during a 5-3 win over the Red Sox in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. He struck out three without walking a batter.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander picked up his first save in five appearances, as the Yankees have been mixing and matching in the closer role while Aroldis Chapman (elbow) remains sidelined. With Loaisiga having thrown 34 pitches (23 strikes) in the matinee, look for Chad Green or another reliever to get the call if the Yankees have another late lead to protect in the nightcap. Loaisiga has been the club's best option of late though, as he's been scored upon only once in his last 11 games and 12.2 innings.

Loaisiga earned the save against the Mariners on Saturday by pitching a perfect ninth inning.
EDGE Analysis
With Aroldis Chapman (elbow) placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Loaisiga got the call to preserve a one-run ninth-inning lead. The right-hander handled the job with aplomb, needing only eight pitches to set down the side in order. It's unclear how long Chapman will be out of action, but Loaisiga -- who has impressed with a 2.48 ERA and 53:11 K:BB across 54.1 innings this season -- looks to be the primary candidate for save opportunities in his absence.
