RHP Shane Bieber to Make Blue Jays Debut Friday Against Marlins
Major League Baseball RHP Shane Bieber to Make Blue Jays Debut Friday Against Marlins Updated Aug. 19, 2025 12:00 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link 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. ADVERTISEMENT 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.

Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to have MRI on hamstring after leaving game
PITTSBURGH — Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left a 5-2 loss to Pittsburgh in the fifth inning with hamstring tightness following a pair of stellar defensive plays. Guerrero did the splits twice at first to snag tosses from teammates, the last a pretty pick off a long throw by shortstop Bo Bichette to retire Jared Triolo to end the third. Guerrero returned to play the field in the fourth before being replaced by Ty France when his turn in the batting order came around in the top of the fifth. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Guerrero was doing 'all right,' but that an MRI was scheduled to get a clearer look at things. 'It was after that stretch, obviously,' Schneider said. 'At this time of year, everyone is kind of grinding a little bit, and that just irritated his hammy. It's just tightness.' Schneider said Guerrero wanted to go out for the fourth inning to get a feel on how hurt he might be. Rather than risk aggravating it, he was pulled in the fifth. 'I trust him, and he knows himself really well,' Schneider said. 'We can't afford to lose him for an extended period of time, so it was partially precautionary, too. Hopefully, he's good to go in the next day or two. He's obviously really important to our lineup.' Guerrero is hitting .298 with 21 home runs and 69 RBIs this season for first-place Toronto.
