Yankees right-hander Jonathan Loáisiga made his first major league appearance in 13 months, pitching a scoreless inning against the New York Mets in his return from reconstructive elbow surgery.

The Yankees designated lefty reliever Tyler Matzek for assignment to make room for Loáisiga. They had liked what they saw from the veteran Matzek early in spring training, but upon returning from an oblique strain, he was not sharp in seven appearances.
