Begins season in setup role
Schreiber allowed one run on two hits while striking out two over 1.1 innings Sunday against the Guardians.
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Schreiber, who missed two months last season due to a shoulder strain, arrived early to Red Sox camp to get his arm in shape for 2024. A month later, the 29-year-old was traded to Kansas City, where he figures to serve in high-leverage and join the Royals mix for save opportunities. Schreiber is capable of pitching multiple innings and is versatile enough to serve as an opener should the Royals elect to deploy him that way. The right-hander's walk rate spiked to 12.3 percent last year, thus inflating his WHIP, but his career mark is 8.8 percent. Some positive regression in that category will better define which role he settles into within the Kansas City bullpen. Schreiber has expressed he feels great and is fully healthy, so that's certainly a positive for his 2024 prospects.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Possibility for saves
Kenley Jansen was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday after he tested positive for the virus, and Schreiber is a strong candidate to pitch in save opportunities until Jansen returns.
ANALYSIS
Jansen is set to be sidelined for about a week, leaving a handful of games where potential saves are up for grabs. Schreiber has one save and 11 holds with a 3.38 ERA and 45:20 K:BB over 40 innings this season, and he saved eight games for Boston in 2022. Chris Martin should also be in the mix but pitched in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Yankees, which likely lines up Schreiber for the save chance in the nightcap should the opportunity arise.
