The New York Yankees transferred right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga to the 60-day injured list on Thursday.

The Yankees filled the vacant roster slot by signing right-hander Ryan Weber to a major league contract.

New York also reinstated catcher Ben Rortvedt from the 10-day IL and sent him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Loaisiga, 28, landed on the 15-day IL on April 8 (retroactive to April 6) with inflammation in his right elbow.

He has a 2.70 ERA in three appearances (3 1/3 innings) out of the bullpen this season. He is 18-9 with a 3.53 ERA and seven saves in 146 games (11 starts) since debuting with the Yankees in 2018.

Weber, 32, appeared in five games for the Yankees last season and posted a 0.84 ERA with one save. He is 4-12 with a 5.02 ERA in 68 games (16 starts) with six teams since 2015.

Weber is 3-3 with a 5.77 ERA in seven starts this season at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Rortvedt, 25, began the season on the injured list due to a circulation issue that caused pain in his left index finger. He had surgery in February to treat an aneurysm of the posterior artery near his left shoulder.

Acquired in a trade with the Minnesota Twins in March 2022, Rortvedt has yet to make his Yankees debut because of various injuries and setbacks.

He made his MLB debut in 2021 and batted .169 with three homers and seven RBIs in 39 games with the Twins.
