2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bieber dazzled during spring training and in his first two starts of the 2024 regular season, seemingly putting concerns of his elbow issues from 2023 behind him. Unfortunately, previous injury remains the best predictor of future injury and it was at that point when it was announced Bieber needed Tommy John surgery. He will miss the first few months of the 2025 campaign and represents a wild card even before accounting for how his stuff and command bounces back post-op. Bieber's velocity and strikeouts have been heading in the wrong direction, save for the two-start sample in 2024, but he showed in 2022 he can still turn in an elite fantasy performance even with diminished stuff. He'll remain in familiar hands, inking a one-year, $14 million deal with Cleveland, so there will be motivation from both sides for him have a strong showing in the second half. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Guardians in December of 2024. Traded to the Blue Jays in July of 2025. Contract includes $16 million player option ($4 million buyout) for 2026.
Next start set for Aug. 29
Bieber is scheduled to make his next start next Friday against the Brewers, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
Analysis
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
2020
2019
Bieber reached 200 frames in a season during 2022 for the second time in his career and was one of the best pitchers in the AL with a 2.88 ERA and 1.04 WHIP, but he ended up making just 21 starts in 2023 after experiencing elbow inflammation in July, marking the second time in three years he's missed a significant chunk of the season. The good news is the right-hander returned for two late-season starts and should have a relatively normal offseason. The not-so-good news is that Bieber took a step back prior to the injury, and he finished the campaign with a 3.80 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 107:34 K:BB across 128 innings. Considering he had career worsts in strikeout rate (20.1 percent), hard-hit rate (47.6 percent) and average exit velocity (91.6 MPH), the aforementioned numbers don't look quite so bad. His fastball velocity was also below 92 MPH for the second straight year, down nearly three ticks from 2020. Bieber's track record of success in the majors (3.07 ERA in 114 games over the past five years) is a steadying force and makes him a solid bet to bounce back in 2024, but there are certainly a few worrying trends with his down velocity and injuries over the past few years.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Guardians motivated to trade
The Guardians are "trying to move" Bieber before the trade deadline, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Bieber -- who is working his way back from Tommy John surgery -- dazzled in his latest rehab start with Double-A Akron on Tuesday, striking out seven over four innings of one-run ball. He should be major-league ready in early August, and while it would take a leap of faith from a contender to trade for him, Bieber represents a high-upside gamble. Bieber holds a $16 million player option -- or $4 million buyout -- for 2026, which he would surely decline if he pitches well down the stretch.
