Eligibility
John Schreiber notched a save in the Royals' narrow 2-1 win over the Angels.
Fantasy Impact
He pitched a clean inning, allowing just one hit and no runs, without recording any strikeouts. Schreiber's latest outing, where he secured his first save of the season, underscores his role as a reliable late-inning option for the Royals. Despite a modest strikeout rate of 6.9 K/9, his excellent ERA of 0.98 and WHIP of 1.04 through 19 appearances this season suggest he can effectively suppress scoring even without overwhelming stuff. Fantasy managers should value his consistency and ability to contribute in holds and now increasingly in save situations, though his low strikeout numbers might limit his ceiling in formats heavily rewarding strikeouts.
John Schreiber has been traded to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for David Sandlin.
Fantasy Impact
Schreiber will join the Royals' bullpen after a solid tenure with the Red Sox. Since the start of 2022, he has a 2.90 ERA and 127 strikeouts in 111.2 innings. Kyle Wright was moved to the 60-day IL to free up a spot on the 40-man roster.
John Schreiber threw a bullpen session on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Schreiber was transferred to the 60-day IL last week as he continues to work his way back from a right shoulder teres major strain. He remains without a timetable to return.
Red Sox reliever John Schreiber recently threw from 75 feet as he works his way back from a right teres major strain.
Fantasy Impact
Schreiber will continue to throw off flat ground before eventually moving to a mound. The right-hander has turned in a dynamite 2.12 ERA across 18 appearances with the Red Sox this season after breaking out with a stellar 2.22 mark across 64 appearances last season.
Red Sox reliever John Schreiber left Monday's 10-1 blowout loss to the Mariners with lat tightness and will land on the injured list, according to MassLive.com's Chris Cotillo.
Fantasy Impact
The Red Sox stated that they believe it's possible their veteran relief pitcher might only require the minimum 15 days on the IL. With Boston's pitching being the biggest issue, they better hope so. Schreiber has been the best pitcher out of Boston's pen and for those in leagues that reward holds, he's worthy of an IL spot if you have it to spare.
