Guardians Skipper Provides New Injury Update On Shane Bieber

Take a huge sigh of relief, Cleveland Guardians fans.

It sounds like Shane Bieber has avoided a massive setback in his return to the mound after undergoing Tommy John surgery last season.

After a concerning update last week, which saw Bieber miss his first rehab start with an organization affiliate, Stephen Vogt provided an update on how the former Cy Young winner is doing.

"He got a good update; it was just a little soreness, a little setback. So he should resume his throwing program in the next few days. So very, very good news on Shane," said Vogt (via MLB.com's Tim Stebbins).

Stebbins also noted that Bieber stressed to Dr. Keith Miester that the soreness he was expressing was normal and not structural. The tests Bieber did down with Meister in Dallas confirmed this and "came back similarly positive."
