Shane Bieber Remains Limited to Flat-Ground Throwing

Bieber continues to be sidelined by forearm fatigue and has not yet progressed to mound work this spring. The Blue Jays are taking a cautious approach, keeping him on a flat-ground throwing program for at least the next five to seven days before reevaluation. Having already been ruled out for Opening Day, Bieber will require an estimated six-week buildup period once he is eventually cleared to begin throwing normal bullpen sessions.
