Rebilas-Imagn Images The New York Yankees activated right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga from the injured list Friday, while left-hander Tyler Matzek was designated for assignment.
Loaisiga returns 13 months after an internal brace procedure on the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The 30-year-old made just three appearances last season and went 1-0 without allowing a run in four innings.
In seven seasons with the Yankees, he is 19-11 with a 3.44 ERA in 163 appearances (11 starts).
Matzek, 34, had a 4.26 ERA in seven relief appearances this season. In seven career seasons, he has gone 16-21 with a 3.73 ERA in 175 appearances (24 starts) for the Colorado Rockies (2014-15), Atlanta Braves (2020-22, 2024) and Yankees.
New York also returned right-hander Clayton Beeter from his rehab assignment, reinstated him from the 15-day IL and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
