Guardians veteran pitcher to miss 12-16 months
According to a release from the team, Lively is expected to miss 12-16 months.
Lively was placed on the injured list on May 13 with a strained flexor tendon. A second opinion recommended that the surgery was necessary.
This season, Lively has posted a record of 2-2 with a 3.22 ERA. In 44 2/3 innings, he has struck out 29 in nine starts.
Lively originally signed with Cleveland in December 2023 and posted a 3.81 ERA in 29 starts last season.
Taking Lively's place in the starting rotation is Slade Cecconi, with former Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber expected to return later this summer.

Denzel Ward injury update Tuesday night after leaving Browns practice
The story for the Cleveland Browns over the last few seasons has mostly been about injuries and the ability to either overcome them or failing to do so. Even this year's quarterback competition, won by Joe Flacco, and backup quarterback competition have been marked by how injuries have impacted them. On Tuesday, CB Denzel Ward left practice early with an arm/upper body injury that could have created significant problems for the defense. With CB Martin Emerson Jr. already lost for the season, losing Ward for a significant time would have greatly impacted the chance that the defense could carry the Browns this season. Tuesday afternoon, we received an update on Ward's injury. While not out of the woods officially, it seems Cleveland is expecting good news with their top cornerback: Ward started 16 games in 2024, the most in his seven-year career and led the NFL with 19 pass breakups, leading to another Pro Bowl season. The 28-year-old is under contract for two more seasons after this year after signing an extension to his rookie deal in 2022. CB Greg Newsome II is set to start opposite Ward with CBs Myles Harden and Cameron Mitchell listed as the primary backups.

RHP Shane Bieber to Make Blue Jays Debut Friday Against Marlins
A former Cy Young Award winner is back in the saddle again. Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider announced on Monday that right-hander Shane Bieber will make both his franchise and season debut in the team's Friday night road matchup against the Miami Marlins. It will be Bieber's first MLB start since April 2, 2024, which is the last start he made prior to suffering a season-ending elbow injury and eventually undergoing Tommy John surgery. Toronto acquired Bieber from the Cleveland Guardians in July for right-hander and 2024 second-round draft pick Khal Stephen. Bieber is in the first season of a two-year, $26 million deal, which includes a player option for the 2026 MLB season. The now-30-year-old Bieber made his MLB debut in 2018 and emerged as a formidable force in 2019, tossing three complete games, posting a 3.28 ERA and 259 strikeouts and earning an All-Star nod in the latter season. The ensuing year (truncated 2020 season), Bieber won the American League Cy Young Award. From 2019-23, Bieber recorded a combined 3.07 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. He joins a Toronto starting rotation that entered Aug. 19 with a collective 3.99 ERA, tied for 17th in MLB, and a 6.6 WAR, good for 18th. The Blue Jays are 73-53 with a five-game lead over the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox for first place in the American League East and are a half-game behind the Detroit Tigers for the best record in the AL.
