MLB players on waivers before postseason roster deadline this week

As the MLB postseason roster eligibility deadline approaches on August 31, several players are expected to be available via waivers. Eugenio Suárez and TJ Friedl of the Reds were placed on waivers but went unclaimed. Other potential candidates include Caleb Ferguson from the Cardinals, Jeff McNeil from the Athletics, Luis Robert Jr. from the Mets, and John Schreiber from the Royals. Teams not in playoff contention might look to shed salary ahead of the deadline, while contenders seek to bolster their rosters.
