Shane Bieber Fantasy Stats

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Shane Bieber will stay in Canada next year after exercising his $16 million player option for the 2026 season on Tuesday, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. After spending the first seven years of his MLB career with the Cleveland Guardians, Bieber made his debut in Toronto in 2025, and it was a success. The 30-year-old former American League Cy Young winner and two-time All-Star got a late start after recovering from Tommy John surgery, limiting him to just seven regular-season starts. In 40 1/3 innings pitched, Bieber went 4-2 with a 3.57 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 37 strikeouts, and only seven walks. In five postseason outings (four starts), he allowed nine runs (eight earned) on 21 hits (three homers) while walking six and fanning 18 in 18 2/3 innings. Bieber may never recapture his pre-Tommy John form in Toronto in the tough AL East, but he's certainly worth gambling on in fantasy in 2026 as a mid-rotation starter.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Shane Bieber will make the start in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series on Wednesday night in Seattle against the Mariners with the team down two games to none in the best-of-seven series. Toronto cannot afford to fall down three games to none in the series, so they'll be hoping that Bieber will look a lot better than he did in Game 3 of the AL Division Series against the New York Yankees, when he allowed three runs (two earned) in just 2 2/3 innings pitched. Bieber got a late start to the 2025 season after recovering from right-elbow surgery, making just seven starts for the Jays. He went 4-2 with a 3.57 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 37:7 K:BB in 40 1/3 innings. The 30-year-old former AL Cy Young winner did not face the Mariners in his seven regular-season starts this year. Bieber will probably be on a very short leash in Game 3 if he doesn't have it early on.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Shane Bieber will take the mound for Game 3 of the ALDS against the New York Yankees. The Jays will go with rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage during Sunday's game. After that, Bieber will get the mound in what could potentially be a series-clinching contest. Bieber didn't make his season debut until late August. He has been mostly solid, posting a 3.57 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and a 37/7 K/BB ratio across seven starts. The Jays were careful with his workload as he was limited to six innings or less in every outing. That'll likely be the case once again during this upcoming postseason start.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Shane Bieber will have his scheduled start pushed back until Friday versus the Tampa Bay Rays. The team hasn't named a starter for Thursday's game, but Jose Berrios seems like the most obvious candidate. Also, rookie Trey Yesavage will take the ball for Saturday's contest. The move to push Bieber back is for rest purposes, so fantasy managers don't need to worry about an injury. Bieber has been sharp since making his season debut in late August. The right-hander has given up three earned runs or less in every start but one this season.

The Toronto Blue Jays will start right-hander Shane Bieber on Tuesday in their series opener against the Astros, per the Athletic's Mitch Bannon. Bieber's last start came last Wednesday, and the Blue Jays will deploy him on Tuesday, Jose Berrios on Wednesday, and Kevin Gausman for the finale on Thursday. The 30-year-old, who spent most of this season recovering from Tommy John surgery, has looked good overall in his three starts, going 2-1 with a 4.15 ERA, a 0.81 WHIP, and a 32.3% strikeout rate. The Astros have been a slightly above-average matchup lately, so Bieber should have a chance to keep things moving in the right direction.

Making his long-awaited return from April 2024 Tommy John surgery and his debut with the Toronto Blue Jays, right-hander Shane Bieber was spectacular in a 5-2 win over the Miami Marlins on Friday. The former AL Cy Young winner went six innings, allowed one earned run on two hits, and recorded nine strikeouts against no walks to notch his first win in 16 months. Bieber threw 87 pitches (55 strikes) and generated 15 whiffs on the night. Toronto couldn't have asked for a better first outing when it took a gamble on Bieber in a deal with the Cleveland Guardians at the July 31 trade deadline. The 30-year-old will have a chance to keep rolling Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins, whose offense has been among the league's worst over the past few weeks.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Shane Bieber (elbow) will make his 2025 debut in Friday's series opener on the road in Miami against the Marlins, according to MLB.com's Keegan Matheson. Bieber will be making his first big-league start since April of 2024 after having Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. Fantasy managers may want to temper expectations for the 30-year-old veteran for the rest of the season, but his minor-league rehab assignment was encouraging, as he posted as 1.86 ERA with 37 strikeouts and only three walks in seven starts. He was able to throw 90 pitches in his final rehab start, so he's fully stretched out and shouldn't face any innings limitations on Friday in a solid matchup against the Fish on the road. If Bieber is still floating around on the waiver wire, he should be picked up if you are in need of pitching.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Shane Bieber (elbow) thrived in his third and likely final rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo on Friday. Bieber fired seven innings of shutout ball with six hits allowed and four strikeouts against no walks. The former AL Cy Young winner threw 90 pitches (64 strikes), which should put him in line to join the Blue Jays sometime next week. Bieber hasn't pitched in the majors since April 2, 2024, and has spent 15 months on the comeback trail from Tommy John surgery. He has yet to suit up for the Jays, who acquired him from the Cleveland Guardians at the July 31 trade deadline. Despite the long layoff, the 30-year-old comes with serious upside and could be an asset for Toronto and fantasy managers down the stretch.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Shane Bieber (elbow) turned in his second straight solid Triple-A rehab outing on Saturday. Bieber went 5 2/3 innings and gave up two runs on four hits with six strikeouts against one walk. He threw 78 pitches, 54 for strikes, and is likely to make one more rehab start before debuting with the Blue Jays. The former AL Cy Young winner underwent Tommy John surgery while with the Cleveland Guardians in April 2024 and hasn't pitched in the majors since. He joined the Blue Jays in a trade with the Guardians before the July 31 deadline. While AL East-leading Toronto already has Jose Berrios, Kevin Gausman, Max Scherzer, Chris Bassitt, and Eric Lauer as its starting five, manager John Schneider has said the team could go to a six-man rotation to make room for Bieber.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Shane Bieber (elbow) is scheduled to make another rehab start this Saturday, with likely one more to follow before manager John Schneider considers a call-up. Bieber was acquired at the trade deadline from the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for right-hander Khal Stephen. The 30-year-old has not pitched since April 2024 after undergoing Tommy John surgery and is expected to make a return in late-August. Bieber spent six and a half seasons with Cleveland and owns a career 3.22 ERA with 958 strikeouts across 843 innings. He won the American League Cy Young Award in 2020 and could be an elite late-season addition.
