Shane Bieber Injury: Makes first rehab start

Bieber (elbow) allowed one hit and no walks while striking out five over 2.1 scoreless innings Saturday in a rehab start in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Bieber made the first of what's expected to be several rehab starts while he works his way back from April 2024 Tommy John surgery. The right-hander will be evaluated following Saturday's outing and could move up to a higher-level minor league affiliate. Bieber will likely need close to the full 30-day rehab window to get ramped up and isn't expected to be ready to make his 2025 debut for the Guardians until late June or early July.
