New York Yankees reliever Jonathan Loaisiga has been placed on the 60-day injured list, retroactive to 4/4, due to a significant right forearm flexor strain, as confirmed by manager Aaron Boone. The injury, initially described as an elbow issue, was revealed through an MRI to be a torn UCL, necessitating season-ending surgery. Loaisiga, who has been a key pitcher for the Yankees, will not undergo Tommy John surgery but will be out for 10-12 months, with Dr. Keith Meister performing the procedure. In response to Loaisiga's absence, the Yankees have signed RHP Dennis Santana (#53) to a Major League contract, selecting him to the active roster. This marks a significant blow to the Yankees' bullpen ahead of their home opener and raises concerns about Loaisiga's future with the team, as he is an impending free agent.
