The Yankees’ most-used reliever from 2025 is coming back. As per Jorge Castillo, Aaron Boone’s team is exercising the Yankees club option on Tim Hill. The reliever is coming back on a $3M salary in the next season.

In 2025, Hill made 70 appearances, which is more than any Yankees reliever this season. And the left-hander reliever, identified for his skill to dominate left-handed batsmen, has been a vital piece in the bullpen. However, with the news of Hill, another $5M star’s future with the team has come to an end.

As per Jorge Castillo, “The Yankees aren’t picking up Jonathan Loáisiga’s $5 million club option for the 2026 season, a source tells ESPN.”

Jonathan Loáisiga had his season cut short with the Yankees because of a flexor strain injury in 2025. In this season, the righty posted a 1.48 WHIP, 4.25 ERA, and 25:10 K: BB across 29.2 innings. But because of a back issue, Loaisiga missed most of the final two months of his regular season. Then, after that, he was affected with a flexor strain.

This is a developing story.
