Loaisiga is in contention for a temporary role as the Yankees' fifth starter, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
The Yankees will need a fifth starter for a month or two with Domingo German (suspension) out until early June and James Paxton (back) out until at least early May. Loaisiga has yet to break out at the big-league level, posting a 4.79 ERA in 56.1 innings. However, scouts like his pitch arsenal and command. Loaisiga has struck out 23.2 percent of batters while walking just 4.7 percent in his minor-league career.
