NEW YORK -- The Yankees activated right-hander Jonathan Loáisiga from the injured list Friday, giving their bullpen another potential late-inning weapon ahead of the Subway Series.
Veteran left-hander Tyler Matzek was designated for assignment to make room on the active roster.
Loáisiga, 30, returns just over a year after undergoing elbow reconstruction surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament. He made six rehab appearances across two minor league levels, giving up one run across 7u2153 innings.
Loáisiga signed a one-year deal with the Yankees in December. The team holds an option for 2026.
