Kansas City Royals news: John Schreiber hits the waiver wire
Royals Review • • sports
Key Points:
- Rojas, Gose, and Kimbrel, though not on the Royals' roster in April, significantly contributed to the team's successful August, highlighting the importance of depth in the lineup.
- Manager Matt Quatraro credited player development and the players' efforts for their readiness to step up when needed.
- Rojas had a standout offensive performance with his second career four-RBI game, demonstrating timely hitting that benefited the Royals.
- Pitcher Schreiber has a high ground-ball rate but declining strikeout and walk rates, with advanced metrics indicating struggles despite a decent batting average on balls in play.
- Due to these performance concerns, the Royals were unable to trade Schreiber before the August 3 deadline, but he may still be acquired by another team by September 1, making him playoff-eligible.
