Shane Bieber Set for Rehab Start After Tommy John Surgery Setback

Cleveland Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber is slated to make a rehab start in the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday, marking a key step in his return from Tommy John surgery in April 2024. The 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner had experienced a setback with soreness during a bullpen session on June 3 but successfully completed another bullpen session in Cleveland on Sunday. Bieber, who went 2-0 with 20 strikeouts in 12 scoreless innings across two starts last year, signed a $14 million, one-year contract in December that includes a $16 million player option for 2026.
