2024 Fantasy Outlook
Schreiber, who missed two months last season due to a shoulder strain, arrived early to Red Sox camp to get his arm in shape for 2024. A month later, the 29-year-old was traded to Kansas City, where he figures to serve in high-leverage and join the Royals mix for save opportunities. Schreiber is capable of pitching multiple innings and is versatile enough to serve as an opener should the Royals elect to deploy him that way. The right-hander's walk rate spiked to 12.3 percent last year, thus inflating his WHIP, but his career mark is 8.8 percent. Some positive regression in that category will better define which role he settles into within the Kansas City bullpen. Schreiber has expressed he feels great and is fully healthy, so that's certainly a positive for his 2024 prospects. Read Past Outlooks

Seen as lock for bullpen
Schreiber is viewed as a lock to make the Royals' bullpen, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Schreiber's role is yet to be officially defined by manager Matt Quatraro, but it's likely he is in the high-leverage mix after logging nine saves and 33 holds over 110 appearances between 2022 and 2023 for the Red Sox. The right-handed reliever has done everything right in spring so far, allowing five hits and striking out five without walking a batting over five innings through five Cactus League appearances. In addition to Schreiber, Will Smith and James McArthur are seen as the Royals' top relievers, with Smith most likely to close given his past work as a closer.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
After beginning his career in the Tigers organization, Schreiber was scooped up by Boston prior to the 2021 season. He spent most of that year in the minors, then failed to break camp with the Red Sox in 2022 despite an impressive spring. The right-hander made his season debut in late April and ripped off 11 straight appearances without allowing an earned run, spanning 12 innings. Schreiber tallied two wins, a save and three holds during that streak to instantly become one of Boston's primary high-leverage anchors. He'd tack on another 19-game scoreless streak before the All Star break and finished the year with a 2.22 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 74:19 K:BB over 65 innings. To add to that impressive line, he also racked up 22 holds and tied for the team lead with eight saves. After a breakout year in high leverage, Schreiber should once again get plenty of holds while setting up for newcomer Kenley Jansen.
