Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Loaisiga (elbow) is believed to be working through a right flexor strain, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Loaisiga was originally recovering from mid-back tightness that landed him on the 15-day IL in early August. However, his rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre was shut down after experiencing soreness in his throwing arm over the weekend. The initial diagnosis is that of a flexor strain, but he'll undergo multiple tests and seek additional opinions to determine the specifics of the injury.
