Yankees’ Jonathan Loaisiga placed on COVID-19 injured list
NY Post
One of the Yankees’ best late-game options out of the bullpen has hit the shelf.
Jonathan Loaisiga, who has become an important high-leverage option, especially in the wake of Aroldis Chapman’s struggles, was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday. Manager Aaron Boone would not disclose whether Loaisiga has tested positive for the virus, experienced symptoms or had a close contact — all possible reasons for going on the IL — but said he was “day-to-day.” “Health and safety protocols. We’ll leave it at that for now with him going on,” Boone said before the Yankees’ game Saturday night in Houston. “He’s good. He feels good.”
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
