Sep 01 (Field Level Media) – The New York Yankees reinstated third baseman Ryan McMahon from the ​10-day injured list Tuesday after ‌a brief rehab assignment.

McMahon had been on the IL since Aug. 21 (retroactive to Aug. 20) due to a left thumb sprain.

The Yankees also added ‌newly ​acquired right-hander John Schreiber to ⁠the active roster. ⁠They selected the reliever off waivers from Kansas City on Monday.

There were no corresponding roster moves, as Major League Baseball ​rosters were allowed to expand to 28 players Tuesday.

McMahon, 31, has batted .216 with ⁠10 home runs and ⁠32 RBIs in 106 games ​this year, his first full season with the ​Yankees after he was traded from the ‌Colorado Rockies at the 2025 deadline.

McMahon had one previous IL stint this season due to a throat infection. He’s a ⁠career .237 hitter with 154 home runs and 502 RBIs in 1,170 games for Colorado (2017-25) and New ⁠York.

Schreiber, 32, ‌was 1-3 with one save ⁠and a 3.65 ERA in ​55 ‌relief appearances this season before being ​placed ⁠on waivers over the weekend. He is 16-15 with 13 saves and a 3.65 ERA in 327 career games (two starts) with the Detroit Tigers (2019-20), Boston Red Sox (2021-23) and Royals.
