The New York Yankees claim right-handed reliever John Schreiber off waivers from the Kansas City Royals, adding another bullpen option as the season moves into its final stretch.
Multiple outlets report the move as a direct effort to bolster a bullpen that has needed additional arms. The Athletic notes that Schreiber’s prior performance with Kansas City includes a 3.65 ERA before the waiver claim. Other coverage focuses more on the transaction itself and his transition away from the Royals rather than providing additional statistical context.
Across the reports, the central point is consistent: Schreiber’s waiver claim results in a change of organization, with the Yankees bringing him into their pitching staff. The reporting does not identify the specific length of the resulting contract or the financial terms, but it frames the claim as a response to bullpen workload and the need for fresh relief pitching.
