Overview

  • Bieber threw five scoreless innings for Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, allowing five hits with four strikeouts and one walk in a 3-1 win.
  • That outing was his fourth rehab start overall and his second with Triple-A Buffalo as part of a rehab assignment that began May 25.
  • He reached 62 pitches in the game, with 46 strikes, marking his longest and most controlled workload of this rehab sequence.
  • Toronto’s rotation has been hit hard by injuries this season but has seen recent reinforcements with Dylan Cease and Max Scherzer returning to the staff.
  • The club’s plan is to run Bieber through one more extended simulated start near 90–100 pitches before making a roster decision, so a recall is possible but not imminent.
