Yankees Claim Reliever John Schreiber From Royals: Sources
John Schreiber gives New York another experienced arm as the team manages an overworked bullpen and seven relievers with 50-plus appearances.
- On Monday, the New York Yankees claimed reliever John Schreiber off waivers from the Kansas City Royals, adding bullpen depth before the postseason eligibility deadline.
- The organization has been forced to tweak its overworked bullpen after recent injuries surfaced, including reliever Fernando Cruz's diagnosis of a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.
- Schreiber, a 32-year-old right-hander, posted a 3.65 ERA over 55 relief appearances this season while holding right-handed batters to a.414 OPS. New York will pay approximately $600,000 of his remaining $3.715 million salary.
- With active rosters expanding from 26 to 28 players on Tuesday, the Yankees require no corresponding roster move for Schreiber, having recently added veterans Michael Fulmer and Justin Topa to bolster depth.
- Additional bullpen options remain in flux as the Yankees recalled converted starter Luis Gil on Sunday; Ryan Weathers is on "the very short side" of his recovery window, Manager Aaron Boone said, while Clarke Schmidt continues his rehab assignment.
