The New York Yankees claimed reliever John Schreiber off waivers from the Royals, assuming his remaining contract of approximately $600,000. Schreiber, who posted a 3.65 ERA in 55 appearances this season, excelled against right-handed batters but struggled with lefties. This low-risk acquisition comes as the Yankees face bullpen injuries, with their top relievers heavily taxed. Schreiber, a veteran with experience from the Red Sox and Tigers, will be assessed for a potential role in the final month of the season.
