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.

John Schreiber notched a save in the Royals' 5-3 victory over the Angels.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed one hit in a scoreless inning of work, contributing to his team's win without walking any batters or striking anyone out. Schreiber's performance, while not flashy, was effective, adding a second save to his season tally. Despite a less-than-stellar ERA of 4.03 and a WHIP of 1.39, his ability to close games could keep him relevant in deeper fantasy leagues, especially those counting holds and saves. However, his low strikeout rate (7.1 K/9) continues to limit his upside in standard formats.

The Royals activated John Schreiber from the 15-day injured list.
