The New York Yankees announced Tuesday that third baseman Ryan McMahon has been reinstated from the 10‑day injured list following a brief rehab assignment. McMahon, who missed time after a left thumb sprain that landed him on the list on August 21 (retroactive to August 20), is now eligible to play as the club moves toward the final stretch of the season.
McMahon’s season to date
At 31 years old, McMahon has posted a .216 batting average with 10 home runs and 32 RBIs in 106 games for New York this year. This marks his first full season with the Yankees after being acquired from the Colorado Rockies at the 2025 trade deadline. Earlier in the campaign he also spent a short stint on the injured list due to a throat infection. Over his career, McMahon is a .237 hitter who has amassed 154 home runs and 502 RBIs in 1,170 games combined for Colorado and New York.
New addition: John Schreiber
In addition to McMahon’s activation, the Yankees added right‑handed reliever John Schreiber to the active roster. Schreiber was claimed off waivers from the Kansas City Royals on Monday and immediately joined the bullpen. Prior to the move, he appeared in 55 relief outings this season, posting a 1‑3 record, one save, and a 3.65 ERA.
Schreiber’s major‑league résumé includes 327 career games (two starts) with a 16‑15 record, 13 saves and a 3.65 ERA while pitching for the Detroit Tigers (2019‑20), Boston Red Sox (2021‑23) and the Royals.
Roster expansion
Major League Baseball permitted teams to expand rosters to 28 players on Tuesday, allowing the Yankees to make these moves without designating anyone for assignment. The additional spots give the club extra depth as it navigates the final weeks of the regular season and looks to solidify its position in the American League East.
What’s next for New York
With McMahon back in the lineup and Schreiber ready to contribute from the mound, the Yankees are poised to field a more complete roster as they face a packed schedule in September. Fans can expect McMahon to provide defensive stability at third base and occasional power at the plate, while Schreiber adds a fresh arm to a bullpen that has been a key factor in the team’s success this year.
All eyes will be on how these roster adjustments translate into on‑field performance as the Yankees push toward the postseason.
