Earns win in matinee 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.
Impact 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.

Picks up save in return 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.
Impact 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.

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

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

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

Sheds brace Schreiber (knee) threw Monday for the first time without wearing a brace, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Schreiber was placed on the 15-day injured list July 29 with a right knee patella tendon injury, and Monday's update was the first since he hit the IL. While he's been progressing well, a return from the injured list doesn't seem imminent considering he hasn't started mound work.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Placed on 15-day IL The Royals placed Schreiber on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right knee patella tendon injury.
Impact Schreiber suffered the injury during an appearance Sunday against the Cubs. It's not clear at this point how long he might be on the shelf. Will Klein will slide into the bullpen in his place.
JULY 29 • ROTOWIRE
Likely headed for IL Royals general manager J.J. Picollo said Monday that Schreiber (knee) is likely to be placed on the 15-day injured list, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.
Impact The Royals haven't provided an updated diagnosis for Schreiber after he was forced out of his relief appearance in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Cubs with right knee patella tendon discomfort, but the team has apparently already deduced that the right-handed reliever is dealing with more than a day-to-day concern. Schreiber could cede his spot on the Royals' 26-man active roster to right-hander Michael Lorenzen, whom Kansas City acquired from Texas earlier Monday.
JULY 29 • ROTOWIRE
Battling knee issue Schreiber was removed from Sunday's game against the Cubs due to right knee patella tendon discomfort.
Impact Schreiber threw just one pitch before he exited Sunday's contest with the injury and should be considered day-to-day. It could be a costly day for Kansas City's bullpen, since Hunter Harvey (back) also departed the contest.

Handed loss Friday Schreiber (3-3) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out one over one-third of an inning, taking the loss Friday versus the Rockies.
Impact Schreiber loaded the bases in the eighth inning and gave up a two-run double to Brenton Doyle to give the Rockies a 4-2 lead. The Royals couldn't bounce back, leaving Schreiber with his second loss in six appearances. The right-hander has given up 11 runs (nine earned) over his last 6.1 innings spanning nine outings. For the season, he's at a 4.46 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB with a save and 19 holds through 34.1 innings. While he remains in a high-leverage role, his performance has been too volatile to trust in recent weeks.

Tallies first save Schreiber picked up the save Friday against the Angels. He pitched a shutout inning, allowing one hit with no strikeouts.
Impact Schreiber collected his first save season and tenth of his career Friday night. He looked steady, allowing a one-out double to Matt Thaiss before swiftly retiring the next two batters on grounders. James McArthur, the typical Royals closer, worked back-to-back nights on Tuesday and Wednesday, so manager Matt Quatraro could have been given him extra rest Friday night. However, McArthur also blew two saves this week, so keep an eye on the bullpen situation in Kansas City to see if Schreiber picks up more save opportunities.
