Kansas City Royals Place John Schreiber on Waiver Wire

Kansas City, MO, August 31, 2026 — The Kansas City Royals organization has announced that player John Schreiber has been placed on the waiver wire. The specific date and circumstances leading to this decision were not immediately detailed in the announcement.

Being placed on the waiver wire in Major League Baseball signifies that a player is available to be claimed by other teams. Teams can submit claims for a player, and the order in which these claims are processed is typically determined by the current standings, with teams having the worst records having priority. If a player is claimed, they are transferred to the claiming team’s roster.

If no team claims the player during the waiver period, they can then be outrighted to a minor league assignment by their original team, or they may be released. The waiver process is a standard procedure in professional baseball used for roster management, allowing teams to move players without having to complete a trade.

Further details regarding John Schreiber’s status, including whether he has been claimed by another team or what the Royals’ next steps might be, have not been provided at this time. The team has not released additional information concerning the transaction.
