Loaisiga (7-3) took the loss and was tagged with a blown save in Tuesday's loss to Kansas City. He allowed four runs on five hits while striking out two over two-thirds of an inning.
EDGE Analysis
Loaisiga has been mostly outstanding out of the bullpen for the Yankees this season -- he entered Tuesday's contest with a 1.63 ERA and 0.96 WHIP through 30 appearances and was working on a streak of 11 outings without allowing a run. He clearly didn't have his best stuff Tuesday, however, as he couldn't protect a one-run New York lead. The right-hander surrendered four singles and a double as the Royals pushed four runs across the plate. Loaisiga's ERA jumped up to 2.52 as a result, but he should continue to be used in high-leverage situations despite the disappointing appearance.

Loaisiga (7-2) allowed no hits and one walk while striking out one in 1.2 scoreless innings to earn the win against the Athletics on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Loaisiga now hasn't given up a run in any of his last 11 relief appearances, and he was rewarded with his seventh win of the year Sunday. The right-hander has posted a 1.63 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with two saves and eight holds in 38.2 innings this season.

Loaisiga earned the hold against Minnesota on Thursday, retiring all five batters he faced without registering any strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander entered with two aboard and one out in the fifth inning. He retired both batters he faced to eliminate the threat, then breezed through a 1-2-3 inning in the sixth frame. Loaisiga ranks second on the Yankees with eight holds this season while posting a 1.89 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB across 33.1 innings. He has also notched a pair of saves.

Loaisiga pitched a clean ninth while needing just six pitches to earn his second save of the year in a 5-4 win over the Orioles on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Loaisiga was called upon to close out Friday's game after Aroldis Chapman had pitched four of the last six days and was given a breather. The 26-year-old Loaisiga came in to relieve Wandy Peralta after he allowed a leadoff single and was able to induce a 5-4-3 double play before getting Pedro Severino to foul out for the final out. Loaisiga has been quite solid aside from an uncharacteristic blowup against the Nationals last week, as he owns a 2.49 ERA and 20:4 K:BB over 21.2 innings.

Loaisiga (3-2) allowed five runs (four earned) on four hits and no walks while striking out one in one-third of an inning to take the loss against the Nationals on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Loaisiga hadn't allowed more than one run in any of his first 14 relief appearances this year, but he was hit hard in the eighth inning Friday and was charged with his second loss of the season. The right-hander has now posted a 2.89 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 18.2 innings in 2021.

Loaisiga (3-1) pitched a perfect eighth inning with one strikeout and earned the win Wednesday versus the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Loaisiga became the pitcher of record when the Yankees rallied for three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning. The 26-year-old has done well in a high-leverage role this season with a save and three holds across 14 appearances. He sports a 0.98 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 18:3 K:BB in 18.1 innings.

Loaisiga pitched one inning against Detroit on Saturday, giving up a hit and a walk but no runs to earn his third hold.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander found himself in a bit of trouble after allowing a one-out single and a two-out walk, but he induced a groundball to get out of the jam. In doing so, Loaisiga earned his third hold in his past five appearances, and he also has a save during that stretch. He holds a 1.10 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB across 16.1 innings this season.

Loaisiga recorded his first career save in Saturday's 2-1 win over Cleveland, throwing 1.1 scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Aroldis Chapman had pitched on two straight days and three of the last four, as had Chad Green, creating a save opportunity for someone else in the Yankees' bullpen. Loaisiga has had a great beginning to the season with a 1.35 ERA and 13:1 K:BB through 13.1 innings over nine appearances, but it might take some significant attrition ahead of him on the depth chart to make him a consistent source of saves.

Loaisiga (2-0) picked up the win Tuesday in a 3-1 victory over Atlanta, striking out one in a perfect eighth inning.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander got rewarded for another strong appearance when the Yankees pushed two runs across in the bottom of the frame. Loaisiga has been a key part of the team's bullpen in the early going, posting a 1.64 ERA and 12:1 K:BB through his first 11 innings, but he's still looking for his first hold or save.

Loaisiga has pitched 10 innings so far this season, allowing two earned runs on seven hits while posting an 11:1 K:BB.
EDGE Analysis
The last-place Yankees have plenty of problems, but their bullpen isn't one of them. Loaisiga has been excellent in relief thus far, though he has been touched up for a run in each of his past two outings, both of which went two innings. He is clearly a trusted option in New York but doesn't have much relevance in fantasy since his role doesn't include any save opportunities.
