Cleveland Guardians Provide Medical Update On Shane Bieber

Bieber was just transferred to the 60-day injured list, but this does not mean he experienced a setback. The transaction came to open up a roster spot on the 40-man roster.

This update is some encouraging news for Bieber and his eventual return to the mound.

The right-handed pitcher made headlines during spring training when he started throwing bullpen sessions, and now it appears he'll soon be advancing to the next stage of his rehab.

While there is no timetable for Bieber's return yet, he certainly seems to be heading in the right direction.

The Guardians desperately need Bieber to return from his surgery strong if they're going to be a playoff team in 2025.

Cleveland's starting rotation has done a decent job at limiting the runs allowed this year, but they're struggling as a group to get deep into games.

It's a stretch to think Bieber can return to his Cy Young form this season, but he'd be an upgrade if he's half of the All-Star pitcher he's been in the past.
