OFFICIAL: We've acquired 2x All-Star, All-Star MVP, Cy Young Award Winner, Triple Crown Winner and Gold Glover Shane Bieber from the Guardians in exchange for RHP Khal Stephen. Welcome to the Blue Jays, Biebs!
After reaching an agreement on Shane Bieber for pitching prospect Khal Stephen, the next question is, how is Bieber progressing in his rehab?

Bieber made his latest rehab start on Tuesday in his comeback from Tommy John surgery in April 2024, and the 30-year-old worked four innings with Double-A Akron against the Erie Seawolves at Canal Park.
Bieber was charged with one run on three hits (including a solo homer), and he struck out seven with zero walks.
He threw 57 pitches (37 strikes), a workload that was in line with the Guardians' plan for him to throw four innings and around 55 pitches.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Bieber came out of the start feeling «great.»
«Obviously the line was good. The velo looked good,» Vogt said Tuesday afternoon. «We'll just have to monitor how he's feeling today. Tomorrow will be the big story of how he's feeling, to determine the next steps.»
Bieber was slated to start on Sunday for Triple-A Columbus, but the Clippers' pair of games against Buffalo at Huntington Park was rained out.
«I was really excited to throw [Sunday], but I got my first dose of reality with the weather delays in Columbus,» Bieber quipped on Monday.
Now that Bieber is with the Blue Jays he will most likely report to the Florida Player Development Complex to begin his next rehab start with the Dunedin Blue Jays or possibly up in New Hampshire with the AA Fishercats.
