New York Yankees reliever Jonathan Loaisiga will miss the rest of the season due to a torn UCL requiring surgery with a 10-12 month recovery period.

Loaisiga experienced a pop in his elbow during a game against the Diamondbacks, prompting the need for surgery.

The surgery will be performed by a Texas Rangers team physician and will involve ligament repair rather than replacement.

Yankees third baseman DJ LeMahieu is on the mend from a broken right foot and may return to play after a minor league rehab assignment.

To fill Loaisiga's spot, right-hander Dennis Santana has been moved up to the major league roster.

The Yankees are managing multiple injuries, with pitcher Gerrit Cole out until at least June and LeMahieu potentially returning by the end of the month.

Despite the setback, Loaisiga is optimistic about his recovery and future in baseball, with free agency pending post-World Series.
