Jonathan Loaisiga was one of three pitchers mentioned by Yankees manager Aaron Boone on Saturday as candidates to replace James Paxton (forearm) in the rotation, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. (Bryan Hoch on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
Paxton hit the injured list Friday and is expected to miss at least two weeks. Loaisiga was named as an early candidate for the role along with Michael King and Nick Nelson. Loaisiga is 2-0 on the season with a 2.77 ERA and 1.08 WHIP over 13 innings this season and is worth picking up in 12-14 team leagues and deeper if he gets a chance to start.
