John Schreiber Goes On Injured List, Justin Garza Called Up
John Schreiber (lat) on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday and also optioned pitcher Brennan Bernardino to Triple-A Worcester. In other moves, the Red Sox recalled right-hander Justin Garza and selected left-hander Ryan Sherriff's contract from Worcester. Schreiber, who has been great in relief for the team this year, goes on the shelf after suffering a right-lat strain on Monday against the Seattle Mariners. The 29-year-old has posted a 2.12 ERA (3.19 FIP), 1.29 WHIP, eight walks and 21 K's in 17 relief innings. Garza hasn't appeared in the big leagues since 2021 and had a 3.95 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, two saves and 13 strikeouts in 13 2/3 relief innings for two minor-league teams. He was claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels last month.

Royals Acquire John Schreiber From Red Sox
John Schreiber from the Boston Red Sox on Saturday in exchange for minor-league right-hander David Sandlin, according to sources. Schreiber, 29, missed almost two months in 2023 due to a shoulder strain and finished the year with a 3.86 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, one save, 25 walks and 53 strikeouts in 46 2/3 innings over 46 outings (two starts) in Boston. For a weak KC bullpen, he'll immediately become one of their better relievers and should work in high-leverage situations, making him an option in deep holds leagues while seeing an occasional save chance as well. Sandlin, 22, has some intriguing strikeout potential after fanning 88 hitters in 66 2/3 innings at Single-A and High-A in the Royals organization last year.

Red Sox Willing To Listen To Offers For Chris Martin, John Schreiber
Kenley Jansen this off-season, they are also reportedly willing to listen to offers for setup men Chris Martin and John Schreiber. Martin had an excellent 2023 season but is due $9.5 million in 2024, so a potential trade would seemingly be for monetary reasons. Schreiber's salary is not as taxing and he will not be a free agent until after the 2026 season, so the impetus to trade him may be to potentially clear roster space. Both pitchers posted strong peripherals with notable holds numbers, so they could be fantasy-relevant in deeper saves-plus-holds leagues in 2024, regardless of what teams they play on.

John Schreiber Arrives At Camp Early
John Schreiber (shoulder) has arrived to the team's spring training facilities in Fort Myers, Fla., early and has been working out since Jan. 11. The 29-year-old reliever says he's "fully healthy" after miss almost two months last season due to a shoulder strain. In his third year with Boston in 2023, Schreiber had a 3.86 ERA (4.52 FIP), a 1.41 WHIP, one save, 25 walks and 53 strikeouts in 46 2/3 innings over 46 appearances (two starts). He'll have a chance to again pitch in high-leverage situations in the back end of Boston's bullpen, especially if the team trades Kenley Jansen before the start of the season, but Schreiber will only be fantasy relevant in deep leagues that reward points for holds. He had a career-high eight saves for the Red Sox in 2022.
