New York Yankees reliever Jonathan Loáisiga has been ruled out for the rest of the 2025 season due to a right elbow flexor strain. Thankfully, surgery isn't required, but his availability for 2026 now hangs in the balance.

Injury Details

Loáisiga experienced soreness in his right elbow during a bullpen session. Team doctors confirmed a flexor strain, and while surgery has been avoided, rest and rehab will keep him sidelined indefinitely.

Bullpen Impact

The Yankees lose a dependable arm in high-leverage situations. Manager Aaron Boone may rely more heavily on relievers like Jonathan Holder or newly available arms from the minors.

Outlook for 2026

Loáisiga's future with the team is in question. With his contract nearing its end and injury history, the Yankees may reassess bullpen strategy during the offseason.

This is a significant blow to New York’s bullpen stability as they chase a playoff berth. Depth will be critical heading into October.
