Overview
- ESPN's Jorge Castillo reported that Jonathan Loáisiga has earned a spot on Arizona's Opening Day roster.
- Loáisiga joined the Diamondbacks on a minor-league deal this offseason after eight MLB seasons with the Yankees.
- He posted a 3.86 ERA in seven spring outings with seven strikeouts and two walks to secure the decision.
- Because the 40-man roster is full, the team must execute a move to select Loáisiga's contract.
- He projects as a back-end option with a chance at high-leverage innings, though injuries since 2022 have limited him to 50 MLB appearances.
