Yankees Poised to Add Schreiber Off Waivers for September Push
Yankees will claim right-hander John Schreiber off waivers from the Royals to bolster the bullpen for September and the playoff push as rosters expand. The cost sits around $1.1 million in taxes on his $3.715M salary after paying about $535k left; Schreiber’s 2026 line includes a 3.65 ERA with strong ground balls but middling strikeout/walk numbers (FIP 4.87, SIERA 4.54), though his prior seasons (2022–25: ~3.33 ERA, 24.7% K, 47.1% GB) suggest upside if used differently. Royals are out of playoff contention; Yankees aim to leverage the move for a deeper bullpen in the stretch run.
