Shane Bieber News: Next start set for Aug. 29

Bieber is scheduled to make his next start next Friday against the Brewers, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Bieber was excellent in his Toronto debut Friday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks with nine strikeouts over six innings. Though his next turn would ordinarily come up Wednesday against Minnesota, he'll instead take the mound against Milwaukee after a team off day Thursday, as manager John Schneider wants to give the hurler extra rest, per Mae. Eric Lauer will start Wednesday in what could be his final turn in the rotation.
