Shane Bieber to Start Season on IL with Right Forearm Fatigue

Blue Jays pitcher Shane Bieber will begin the season on the injured list due to right forearm fatigue, which will also cause a delayed build-up during spring training. Bieber reportedly pitched through forearm fatigue late last season after making five playoff appearances, including Game 7 of the World Series. This fatigue follows his return from Tommy John surgery last year, where he made seven regular-season starts. Manager John Schneider indicated Bieber is "feeling good," suggesting his time on the shelf may not be prolonged.
