On Sunday, the New York Yankees lost to the New York Mets by a score of 7-6 at Citi Field.

They had taken a 6-3 lead into the ninth inning.

Bryan Hoch of MLB.com wrote: “Ballgame over, Mets win. One out away from sealing a 6-3 victory, the Yankees trudge back to the Bronx with a 7-6, 10-inning loss. The Yankees went 2-7 on their nine-game trip to Milwaukee, Baltimore and Flushing. The Yanks haven’t won a series at Citi Field since 2018.”

Over their recent cold stretch, the bullpen has become a serious issue for the Yankees.

Yankees Player The Team Must Consider A Reunion With

One player the Yankees should consider targeting is Jonathan Loáisiga.

He is in his first season with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

While the 31-year-old hasn’t been perfect, he is still 0-1 with a 3.12 ERA in 19 games.

In the month of May, Loáisiga has not allowed a run in four appearances.

Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports wrote (on March 28): “Nice debut from Jonathan Loaisiga, who retired all four batters he faced (Kyle Tucker, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and Will Smith). Strikeout, two groundouts and a pop-up.”

Before signing with the Diamondbacks, Loáisiga had spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Yankees.

He finished last season with an 0-1 record and 4.25 ERA in 30 games.
