The Yankees from New York put the Nicaraguan on the 10-day disabled list Jonathan Loaisiga and incidentally, they raised again the Dominican Albert Abreu in the MLB.
Just when Aroldis Chapman blew a game last Saturday against the Baltimore Orioles, the Yankees now they receive the news that they will not count for 10 ten with the arm of right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga, the team’s best reliever since April 1.
According to Aaron Boone, pitcher Loasigia has a strained “rotator cuff” in his right shoulder, as long as he has that discomfort he cannot throw breakers. It should be noted that Loaisiga’s delay between the years 2018-19 was due to shoulder problems.
Jonathan Loaisiga In his last 7 outings he has thrown 10.1 innings allowing a single run with 12 strikeouts. In total he maintains a 9-4 record with a 2.25 ERA in 68 innings with 66 strikeouts.
Prior to today’s game, the @Yankees made the following roster moves:
• Placed RHP Jonathan Loáisiga on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain.
• Recalled RHP Albert Abreu (# 84) from Triple-A Scranton / Wilkes-Barre.– Yankees PR Dept. (@YankeesPR) September 5, 2021
Instead the Mules decided to call in Albert Abreu, another rookie right-hander who has thrown some 28 innings for the big team in 2021, where he is 2-0 with a 4.08 ERA with 30 strikeouts.

Rotator cuff injuries or discomfort can be very delicate. Jonathan Loaisiga has a powerful sinker and an effective corner.
Salvation of the Yankees
Clay Hamels who was acquired via trade from the Pittsburgh Pirates before the trade deadline, who in his last 7 games is 3-0 with a 1.17 ERA, 7.2 innings, 4 hits, 1 run and 12 strikeouts.
Injuries continue to hit Los Mulos bullpen
In less than two weeks they have lost Zack Britton and Jonathan Loaisiga, two fundamental pieces of the last innings especially when Aroldis Chapman is not available or the circumstances are not to put him to pitch.
For now, they must respond with the following names in their bullpen, such as Wandy Peralta, Lucas Luetge, Brooks Kriske, Chad Green and Albert Abreu.
