Shane Bieber was acquired by the Toronto Blue Jays with the goal of pitching in the World Series. After a year-long absence recovering from Tommy John surgery, he is showing positive signs with his minor league performances, striking out six batters in six innings with a good fastball velocity. There's a structured plan for his return, including a rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo, and he could debut as a Blue Jay against the Pirates on August 19, during a manageable stretch in the schedule for the team.
Shane Bieber will make his next rehab start Saturday with triple-A Buffalo. Expectation is Bieber will have another rehab start after and then "go from there" on next steps, he added.
The timeline suggests that Bieber will start again this weekend and will then get another start at Triple-A after that, potentially making his Blue Jays debut on August 19.
