Yankees Acquire Schreiber on Waivers for ~$600K

The Yankees are set to claim right-hander John Schreiber off waivers from the Royals, adding the 32-year-old reliever who has appeared in 55 games this season with a 3.65 ERA to their bullpen as he becomes an impending free agent. The move comes as rosters expand and the Yankees have open spots on their 40-man roster, allowing the claim without a corresponding roster move, with Schreiber still owed the remainder of his 2026 salary.

Lombard Jr. Day-to-Day After Knee Incident

George Lombard Jr., the Yankees’ 21-year-old rookie shortstop, exited Saturday’s game with right knee discomfort after a check swing, but evaluations found no structural damage and he remains day-to-day with inflammation in the patella. While not ruled out for the rest of the series or the season’s critical stretch, Boone and team officials caution that swelling and discomfort must clear before he can return, potentially affecting the Yankees’ lineup as they chase divisional and wild-card positioning.

Judge Plans to Skip Rehab, Return

Aaron Judge intends to skip a minor-league rehab and push for a timely return from his rib injury, saying he’s ready to play and “no detours needed,” a move he’s echoed before in 2023. The Yankees and Boone say the timeline remains fluid, with Judge already taking swings and running as he builds back without a set date, emphasizing that he doesn’t want to waste at-bats or time in the minors.
