  "summary": "The New York Yankees have claimed right-handed reliever John Schreiber off waivers from the Kansas City Royals, according to Yahoo Sports. Schreiber, who has a 3.65 ERA in 55 appearances, will not be compensated by the Royals, who will save $600,000 in salary as a result. The Royals originally acquired Schreiber from the Red Sox before the 2024 season for pitcher David Sandlin, and he has made 188 relief appearances with the Royals, posting a 3.71 ERA. However, Schreiber's strikeout rate is at a career low of 17.7 percent, and his fielding independent percentage (FIP) is 4.87, suggesting he has not pitched as effectively as his ERA indicates. The Royals were unable to find a trade partner for him at the July deadline, and he will be a free agent at the end of the season.",
