Yankees Claim Reliever John Schreiber Off Waivers
New York added right-hander John Schreiber via waivers, per MLB.com, bolstering a bullpen that has seen notable roster activity recently.
The Yankees have claimed reliever John Schreiber off waivers, per MLB.com, adding another arm to a bullpen the organization has been actively managing.
The move is a waiver claim, not a free-agent signing or trade, meaning another club had already designated Schreiber before New York stepped in.
The bigger picture
The claim arrives during a stretch of considerable roster churn. Earlier this week, the Yankees recalled right-hander Luis Gil from Triple-A SWB while optioning Yerry de los Santos. The bullpen depth question carries real weight given that Max Fried's injury situation has been described as an X-factor for the rotation heading into potential postseason matchups — circumstances that tend to put extra mileage on relief arms.
What remains unconfirmed
MLB.com's report does not specify which club originally designated Schreiber, what roster move the Yankees made to clear a spot, or what role he is expected to fill. None of that has been detailed in the available material.
