Whenever Major League Baseball resumes operations and the regular season begins Jonathan Loasiga will more than likely be a part of the Yankees starting staff. He’s earned the opportunity based on how well he’s pitched up to this point in the spring.
Before spring training was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic he made his fifth appearance of exhibition play on Thursday against the Nationals. He allowed one run over three innings of work and struck out three. The only hit he allowed was a solo home run off the bat of Victor Robles. For the spring Loaisiga has now pitched 10 innings posting an ERA of 2.
