Duffey was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Monday.

Duffey has pitched well in the major leagues this season, posting a 1.42 ERA with 10 punchouts over 6.1 innings, and he'll get another opportunity out of the bullpen. Jake Cave was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Garcia was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a lumbar spine muscle spasm.

Garcia apparently picked up the issue during his outing against the Orioles on Sunday, during which he issued two walks and allowed a hit in a scoreless inning of relief. It's unclear how long the issue will keep Garcia sidelined at this point; he'll be eligible to return May 23, should he prove ready. Taylor Cole was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Adams was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

Adams, who was acquired via trade after being designated for assignment by the Nationals earlier in the month, will take the roster spot of Dan Altavilla, who was sent to Double-A Arkansas on Monday. The 28-year-old Adams has spent most of the 2019 season in the minors, compiling a 2.19 ERA and 24:3 K:BB in 12.1 innings with Triple-A Fresno and Tacoma.

Loaisiga will be shut down from throwing for four weeks with a right rotator cuff strain, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Loaisiga will still have to build his arm strength back up once he resumes throwing, so he won't be back in big-league action for quite some time. The 24-year-old has a 4.50 ERA and an unimpressive 13:8 K:BB in 14 innings of work for the Yankees this season. Chance Adams was called up to take his place on the roster.

Loaisiga was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right shoulder strain.

This explains why Loaisiga was scratched from his scheduled start Monday, with Luis Cessa getting the ball in his place. The move is retroactive to Friday, making the 24-year-old Loaisiga eligible to return next Monday, if he proves ready. With an off day Thursday, the Yankees won't need a fifth starter until May 21. Prior to suffering the injury, the right-hander compiled a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB in four appearances (three starts, 14 innings) for New York. Chance Adams was summoned from the minors to take Loaisiga's spot on the roster.

Loaisiga was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain Monday.

The move was made retroactive to Friday, so Loaisiga is eligible to return as soon as next Monday, though the Yankees haven't provided a timeline for his return. Luis Cessa will start in his place Monday against the Orioles, with Chance Adams called up to take his place on the roster.

Hendriks, who fired two clean innings during which he recorded two strikeouts in a loss to the Indians on Sunday, now sports a 1.54 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across 23.1 innings on the season.

The veteran reliever was also effective as an opener in Saturday's win, allowing a hit and recording a strikeout over a scoreless first inning. Hendriks has rattled off six straight scoreless appearances, and he's slightly bumped up his fastball's average velocity over last season (94.7 mph, compared to 94.3 mph) while posting a career-high strand rate (88.0 percent). While his first month-plus has been highly encouraging, Hendriks' career body of work -- he's only posted a sub-4.00 ERA twice -- lends credence to the notion a regression to some degree could be looming.

Green struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning during Sunday's 7-1 win over the Rays.

After a three-week stint at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Green rejoined the big club Sunday. Though he was eased back in with a low-leverage appearance, Green finally resembled the setup ace he had been over the prior two seasons. The right-hander not only delivered a spotless frame but also racked up six swinging strikes in only 13 pitches. Green may only need to turn in another quality outing or two before manager Aaron Boone is comfortable going back to him in key late-inning spots.

Loaisiga won't make his scheduled start Monday against the Orioles, with Luis Cessa receiving the nod instead, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

No reports have surfaced suggesting that Loaisiga is dealing with an injury, so it's expected that he'll still be available out of the bullpen for the series opener. Given that Cessa has topped out at 3.1 innings and 61 pitches for the big club this season, it's possible that he's deployed as more of an opening pitcher than a traditional starter, which may allow Loaisiga to serve as a bulk reliever Monday and factor into the decision. The uncertainty regarding Loaisiga's workload probably takes him out of consideration for DFS contests, but he could still pick up enough innings during the Yankees' six-game week to make for a worthy streaming option in deeper mixed and AL-only leagues.

Mayza allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless eighth inning during Sunday's loss to the White Sox.

After a rough start to the season, the southpaw has now reeled off nine straight scoreless appearances, posting an 11:3 K:BB over nine innings during that stretch. Mayza now sports a respectable 3.71 ERA and 1.24 WHIP, and he's already set a new career high with six holds.
