Loaisiga looked great in his outing in Triple-A on Friday striking out four while walking none and giving up just one hit over three scoreless innings. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on updates regarding the status of Loaisiga.

The Yankees transferred Jonathan Loaisiga from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

The procedural move was made in order to make room on the 40-man roster for newly acquired 1B/DH Kendrys Morales. Loaisiga is dealing with a right rotator cuff strain and is now not eligible to return until mid-July. He will not resume throwing for four weeks, and will then need to go through a rehab assignment before returning.

The Yankees placed Jonathan Loaisiga on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain.

The move is being made retroactive to May 10th. There's no word yet on the severity of the injury but this explains why Luis Cessa is getting the start tonight versus the Orioles. Loaisiga's status should be updated within the next day or so.

Jonathan Loaisiga allowed four earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three across four innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Mariners.

Loaisiga was called up to make the start as the Yankees are trying to cover James Paxton's spot in the rotation. The 24-year-old righty is now 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in three starts and one relief appearance. Loaisiga should get another opportunity to start for the team.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone says Jonathan Loaisiga will start on Wednesday versus the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

Loaisiga will be taking the rotation spot of James Paxton for now. Paxton is expected to be out a maximum of three weeks so Loaisiga should only get a handful of starts here. Still, he's definitely a streaming option for Wednesday. Loaisiga has registered a 2.70 ERA through 10 big league innings this year.
