Shane Bieber, the Guardians’ Cy Young winner in 2020, underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on April 12, 2024. His rehab went smoothly until he developed soreness after his first rehab start on May 31. The soreness continued in Tuesday’s bullpen session at Canal Park in Akron and Bieber told Cleveland’s medical staff..

The Guardians announced Shane Bieber will be shut down from throwing for a week prior to their game against the Astros Friday night.

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Shane Bieber will not start on Friday, and his road back to the major leagues just got even longer.
