The Royals have placed John Schreiber on waivers.

Fantasy Impact

Schreiber could draw interest from a contender seeking bullpen help.

John Schreiber took the loss on Tuesday, allowing one unearned run on one hit while striking out one in the tenth inning.

Fantasy Impact

Schreiber was called on in the tenth with Matt Strahm and Lucas Erceg working the eighth and ninth innings. He struck out the first batter he faced before giving up a walk-off RBI single. The Royals have been searching for some consistency in the backend of their bullpen.

John Schreiber allowed one hit and fired a scoreless frame on 15 pitches to earn the save.

Fantasy Impact

Carlos Estevez is injured, and Lucas Erceg and Matt Strahm pitched the previous two days, leaving Schreiber to close out the game. He did a good enough job, but is probably fourth on the totem pole for saves.

John Schreiber and the Kansas City Royals avoided arbitration and agreed to a one-year deal worth $3.715 million for the 2026 season.

Fantasy Impact

Schreiber has turned himself into a reliable reliever at the major league level over the the past four seasons. After posting a 6.28 ERA in two years with Detroit, the righthander has pitched to a 3.32 ERA over 230.1 innings with Boston and Kansas City from 2022-25. Schreiber should fill a middle relief role for the Royals again in 2026.
