"However, after hearing about his latest injury update, everything ultimately makes a lot more sense now. Apparently, Bieber currently has forearm fatigue, as per Mitch Bannon, and will need to delay his ramp-up activities this spring, putting the start of his regular season with the Blue Jays in jeopardy. In other words, the 30-year-old right-hander is still likely not at 100% after recovering from his Tommy John surgery that took place almost two years ago."
"Yes, Bieber eventually made his valiant return to the majors last season after he was dealt by the Cleveland Guardians to the Blue Jays at the trade deadline during his rehab. In doing so, he posted a 4-2 record with a 3.57 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, along with 37 strikeouts in 40.1 innings over seven starts down the stretch for Toronto. Those were certainly solid numbers, but he clearly wasn't overly-dominating by striking out more than a batter per inning."
Shane Bieber elected to opt into his Blue Jays contract while still recovering from Tommy John surgery and currently experiencing forearm fatigue. The forearm fatigue will delay his spring ramp-up and could jeopardize the start of his regular season with Toronto. Bieber returned last season after a trade from the Cleveland Guardians and recorded a 4-2 mark with a 3.57 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 37 strikeouts in 40.1 innings across seven late-season starts. He showed limited dominance and struggled in the playoffs, failing to go more than four innings in two postseason starts and surrendering the series-deciding home run in Game 7.
