Schreiber was born in Wyandotte, Michigan, raised in Rockwood, Michigan, and would attend Gibraltar Carlson High School in Gibraltar, Michigan. He attended Henry Ford College for two seasons, and then transferred to the University of Northwestern Ohio for two seasons.[1]

The Detroit Tigers selected Schreiber in the sixteenth round of the 2016 MLB draft, where he signed for a $6,000 bonus.[2] After signing with Detroit, he was assigned to the Connecticut Tigers, where he went 2–3 in eighteen games with a 2.76 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. In 2017, he played for the West Michigan Whitecaps where he improved to the tune of a 5–1 record and 0.54 ERA in 27 relief appearances between. Opponents would only hit .147 off Schreiber and he held opposing batters to a 0.66 WHIP. Schreiber then jumped straight to Erie in 2018, where he finished with a 2.48 ERA and 18 saves in 23 opportunities, while pitching in 49 games total over the course of the year. He began 2019 in Erie, but after allowing just two runs in seven innings, and with opponents hitting .154 off him, he was called up to the Toledo Mud Hens.[3]

On August 8, 2019, the Tigers selected Schreiber's contract and promoted him to the major leagues.[4] He made his debut on August 9, allowing one run over ​2⁄3 of an inning.[5] Schreiber earned his first major league win on September 7, pitching the final ​2⁄3 of an inning in the Tigers' 5–4 extra innings victory over the Oakland Athletics.[6]
