The New York Yankees placed setup man Jonathan Loaisiga on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a strained right rotator cuff.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Loaisiga will not throw for at least 10 days. Boone told reporters he hopes the Yankees can get Loaisiga back sometime this season.
Loaisiga is 9-4 with a 2.25 ERA in 68 innings pitched this season, striking out 66 batters while walking just 15. He has 18 holds and five saves. His innings pitched are his most since 2013 when he was a minor leaguer for the San Francisco Giants.
The Yankees recalled right-hander Albert Abreu from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move.
