Schreiber (3-3) was charged with the loss and a blown save Thursday against the Guardians, allowing two runs on two hits while striking out one in 1.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

It's the third time already this month that Schreiber has permitted two runs in an outing, giving him a ghastly 12.46 ERA through 4.1 innings in September. With closer Carlos Estevez leading MLB in saves, Schreiber has fallen quite far out of contention for save chances in most scenarios at this stage of the campaign. Across 58.1 innings, Schreiber has a 3.70 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 60:18 K:BB.

Schreiber issued one walk in a scoreless inning and recorded a save against Texas on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Schreiber entered the game with a 5-2 lead and closed things out despite a two-out walk to Marcus Semien. Schreiber picked up his first save and extended his scoreless streak to 5.1 frames. He dropped his season ERA to 3.24 while snagging his first save of the year. Carlos Estevez did not appear in Tuesday's win after pitching Sunday and Monday.

Schreiber (1-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Astros after giving up a walk-off home run before recording an out in the ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't a blown save due to the game being tied at 1-1 before he served up the homer to Isaac Paredes, but Schreiber still allowed his first run since April 16. The 31-year-old right-hander has worked in a setup role along with Lucas Erceg ahead of closer Carlos Estevez this year, which has prevented Schreiber from seeing a single save opportunity so far in 2025. Through his first 17 innings, Schreiber sports a 2.12 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB.

Schreiber allowed one run on two hits while striking out two over 1.1 innings Sunday against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Schreiber saw his strikeout rate dip to 20.5 percent in 2024 in his first year in Kansas City but remained useful with a 3.66 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 51.2 regular-season innings. He could be a nice source of holds (24 last year) ahead of Lucas Erceg and Carlos Estevez in the bullpen.

The Royals and Schreiber avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.3 million contract Thursday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schreiber had been arbitration-eligible for a second time. The right-handed reliever saw his strikeout rate dip to 20.5 percent in 2024 in his first year in Kansas City but remained useful with a 3.66 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. He'll be used in middle relief in 2025.

Schreiber (4-3) struck out one and didn't allow a baserunner over 1.2 scoreless innings, earning the win in the first game of Monday's doubleheader versus the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Schreiber has pitched 3.2 scoreless innings, earning a win, a save and a hold over three appearances since he returned from a knee injury. He's now at a 3.76 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 32:14 K:BB with two saves and 21 holds over 40.2 innings this year. Schreiber has allowed a lot of baserunners, but he's still been able to maintain a setup role in the Royals' struggling bullpen.

Schreiber earned the save in Monday's 5-3 victory over the Angels, working around a hit to pitch a shutout inning with no strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old reliever saw immediate action in his first game back from a knee injury, collecting a save for the first time since May 10, which oddly, also came against the Angels. However, Schreiber likely will only serve as a backup closer going forward, as he spelled Lucas Erceg, who collected the two previous Kansas City saves, after Erceg fired 28 pitches in Sunday's contest. Overall, Schreiber now sports a 4.03 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 30:13 K:BB across 38 innings this season.

The Royals activated Schreiber (knee) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Schreiber will rejoin the Royals bullpen after a three-week stay on the injured list due to right knee soreness. The 30-year-old has a 4.14 ERA and a 30:13 K:BB across 37 innings for the Royals this season. Carlos Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

Manager Matt Quatraro said Monday that he expects Schreiber (knee) to begin his rehab assignment Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schreiber landed on the 15-day IL on July 29 due to a right knee patella tendon injury. He threw his second bullpen session Sunday, and the 30-year-old right-hander is ready to embark on a rehab assignment to prepare himself to a return to the big club. Across 43 major-league outings this season, Schreiber has registered one save and 20 holds with a 4.14 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 37 innings.

Schreiber (knee) threw a bullpen session Thursday and is scheduled to throw off a mound again Sunday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schreiber has been progressing well from a right knee patella tendon injury he sustained in late July and while he's feeling good from a pitching standpoint, he'll need to do more fielding work before the next step in his rehab is determined. Prior to the injury, Schreiber tallied a 4.14 ERA across 37.0 innings out of the bullpen.
