  • Royals' John Schreiber: Seen as lock for bullpen

    Schreiber is viewed as a lock to make the Royals' bullpen, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Schreiber's role is yet to be officially defined by manager Matt Quatraro, but it's likely he is in the high-leverage mix after logging nine saves and 33 holds over 110 appearances between 2022 and 2023 for the Red Sox. The right-handed reliever has done everything right in spring so far, allowing five hits and striking out five without walking a batting over five innings through five Cactus League appearances. In addition to Schreiber, Will Smith and James McArthur are seen as the Royals' top relievers, with Smith most likely to close given his past work as a closer.

  • Royals' John Schreiber: Traded to Royals

    The Red Sox traded Schreiber to the Royals on Saturday in exchange for David Sandlin, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Though he missed nearly two months of the season due to a shoulder strain, Schreiber instantly becomes one of the top relievers in Kansas City's bullpen after posting a 3.86 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 46.2 frames in 2023. The 29-year-old right-hander often served in high-leverage situations over the past two years and could be in the mix for save opportunities with his new club.

  • Red Sox's John Schreiber: Early arrival

    Schreiber arrived at Fenway South in Fort Myers (Fla.) early and has been working out since Jan. 11, Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.

    Schreiber missed nearly two months last season with a shoulder strain and is motivated to get the arm in shape for the regular season. "I feel great," he said. "I'm fully healthy. I wanted to get down here early and get started building up." The right-hander earned the trust of Boston manager Alex Cora during the 2022 season (2.22 ERA, eight saves) and was leaned upon for high-leverage situations when healthy last season.

  • Red Sox's John Schreiber: Reaches deal with Sox

    Schreiber signed a one-year, $1.175 million contract with the Red Sox on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

    Schreiber impressed during his first full season with Boston in 2022 and got off to a hot start last year as well. However, the 29-year-old righty injured his shoulder in May and wasn't quite the same when he came back in late July, recording a 4.85 ERA and 1.48 WHIP through 29.2 innings post-injury. Schreiber may still be an option for Boston in high-leverage situations this season, but his reliability remains questionable.

  • Red Sox's John Schreiber: Let down by defense, blows save

    Schreiber allowed one run on two hits over one inning and blew the save in Saturday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to Toronto.

    For Boston's first save opportunity since closer Kenley Jansen (illness) landed on the COVID-19-related injured list, Red Sox manager Alex Cora brought in Schreiber to close. The right-hander should have survived with a save, but center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela misplayed a Daulton Varsho liner, turning a potential game-ending out into a triple, which plated the tying run. Schreiber entered the game following Chris Martin, who is also in the mix for saves while Jansen works his way back.

  • Red Sox's John Schreiber: Opening Saturday's contest

    Schreiber will serve as the Red Sox's opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Chris Murphy, who last pitched Sunday against the Giants and covered 3.1 innings, will likely serve as a bulk reliever behind Schreiber, who will likely work only an inning or two. The Red Sox have now deployed Schreiber as an opener for two of his five appearances since he returned from the 60-day injured list last week.

  • Red Sox's John Schreiber: Activated, serving as opener

    The Red Sox activated Schreiber (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    In what will be his first appearance for Boston since May 15, Schreiber will serve as the team's opening pitcher in Tuesday's game against Atlanta. Schreiber is unlikely to work more than an inning or two before giving way to Nick Pivetta, who is expected to serve as the team's primary pitcher out of the bullpen.

    Schreiber (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    Schreiber can't return from the 60-day injured list until after the All-Star break, but he should be ready around the time he's first eligible if all continues to go well with his throwing progression. He's been sidelined since mid-May because of a right teres major strain.

    Schreiber suffered the injury during an appearance Monday versus the Mariners. It's not clear how severe the strain is, but even in a best-case scenario it's often the type of injury which leads to longer than a minimum stay on the IL.

  • Red Sox's John Schreiber: Secures win Tuesday

    Schreiber (1-0) got the win Tuesday against the Twins, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk over an inning of work.

    Schreiber entered to pitch the 10th and loaded the bases after two batters. He allowed a run to score on a sacrifice fly before a second crossed the plate on a groundout to the shortstop. He was bailed out with a win after the Red Sox scored three in the bottom of the inning to walk off with a win. Schreiber had put together five scoreless outings before Tuesday and now sits at a 2.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB over nine innings.

  • Red Sox's John Schreiber: Makes third appearance

    Schreiber allowed one run on three hits and one walk over one inning during Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Pirates.

    Boston manager Alex Cora surprisingly removed starter Corey Kluber after five innings and 67 pitches, turning the game over to a bullpen that's been good early in the season. Schreiber allowed a couple of quick hits, before the Red Sox were caught off guard by a safety-squeeze bunt single that produced the first run off the reliever in three outings. Schreiber, who posted a 2.22 ERA last season, is a key piece of the bridge to closer Kenley Jansen.

    Schreiber struck out two over 1.2 scoreless innings in Saturday's spring game against the Twins.
