Officially returning Monday Bieber (elbow) will return from the injured list to start Monday's game against Houston, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Manager John Schneider has previously hinted that Bieber would be coming off the injured list Monday, but the team wanted to see him throw one last bullpen session Saturday before making it official. The 31-year-old righty has made five rehab appearances across three affiliates since beginning his rehab assignment in late May, posting a 6.88 ERA and 1.88 WHIP with a 14:5 K:BB across 17 innings. He threw 80 pitches in five frames during his last appearance, so he could avoid making his season debut under a workload restriction.

Lined up for season debut Monday Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Friday that "all signs point towards" Bieber (elbow) making his season debut Monday against the Astros, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports...

Impact The Blue Jays are holding off making it official until Bieber throws a bullpen session Saturday, but as long as he doesn't have any hiccups with that throwing session he will take the ball in Monday's series opener at Rogers Centre. Bieber would also line up for a second start that weekend at home versus the Rangers. Coming back from right elbow inflammation, Bieber has collected a 6.88 ERA and 14:5 K:BB over 17 innings covering five rehab starts. He threw 80 pitches in his last outing, so he's close to being fully stretched out.

Stretches out to 80 pitches Bieber (elbow) built up to 80 pitches Wednesday in what's likely to be his final rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo, giving up five runs on seven hits and four walks over five inning...

Impact The results weren't pretty, as Bieber served up homers to career minor leaguers Ryan Galanie and Andy Weber -- neither of whom are even on the 40-man roster for the White Sox -- but the veteran right-hander was sitting 91-92 mph with his fastball and topped out at 93.0 mph. With Max Scherzer (back) landing on the IL on Wednesday, the Blue Jays likely can't afford to give Bieber another rehab start to round into form. If he stays on turn, he lines up to make his 2026 big-league debut early next week at home against the Astros.

Approaching next rehab start Toronto announced that Bieber (elbow) will make another rehab start on Wednesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bieber will commence another rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday which could be his third and final start before rejoining the big-league club. The 31-year-old is aiming for 75 pitches on Wednesday and Toronto will go from there to determine whether the right-hander is ready to make his season debut quite yet.

Impact Bieber looked sharp in his second rehab start Thursday, tossing six scoreless innings while allowing five hits and a walk with five strikeouts. If the veteran right-hander needs another turn in Triple-A and all goes well, then he could be available to return for the Blue Jays' series opener against the Astros on Monday, June 22. Bieber's return would likely result in Patrick Corbin being removed from the Blue Jays' rotation.

Impact Bieber was making his second start with Buffalo, and he was far more successful the second time around, notching 46 strikes over 62 total pitches. The right-hander was able to average 91.4 mph on his fastballs, peaking at 93 mph on the day. Bieber may need just one more rehab start before making his 2026 debut with the Blue Jays.

Making fourth rehab start Thursday Bieber (elbow) is scheduled to make the fourth start of his rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Buffalo, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact After pitching for three different affiliates during his first three rehab outings, Bieber will stick around with Buffalo for a second consecutive appearance. Per Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca, Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Bieber could push up to the 70-to-75-pitch range during Thursday's start, which would put him under consideration for a return to the big-league rotation as soon as next week. However, Bieber may realistically need another rehab appearance beyond Thursday, given the uneven results he's had through his first three outings as he works his way back from inflammation in his surgically repaired right elbow. While Bieber has posted a strong 8:0 K:BB in seven innings during his time in the minors, he's been knocked around for eight earned runs on 15 hits.

Yields five runs in rehab start Bieber (elbow) struck out two batters and was charged with five earned runs on six hits and no walks across 2.1 innings in his rehab start Sunday with Single-A Dunedin.

Impact After tossing two scoreless innings in his first rehab start last Monday in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, Bieber jumped up a level for his second minor-league appearance. While Bieber ended up taking a step back from a results standpoint, he was at least able to push his pitch count up to 49 and while inducing nine swings and misses on his 35 strikes. The right-hander also averaged 92.1 mph with his fastball, a half-tick behind his average from the 2025 season. While he continues to work his way back from inflammation in his surgically repaired elbow, Bieber will likely need to build up to around 70-to-80 pitches in the minors before getting cleared to make his 2026 debut for Toronto. He looks to be trending toward a return from the 60-day injured list in the second half of June.

Making sense of a bad rehab start for Blue Jays' Shane Bieber in injury recovery | Sporting News Bieber still has a ways to go to get back to MLB.

MAY 31 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Tosses two frames in rehab start Bieber (elbow) allowed three hits while striking out three batters across two scoreless innings in his rehab start in the Florida Complex League on Monday, per Sportsnet.ca.

Impact It was Bieber's first start in his rehab program, and the expectation is that the right-hander will build his volume up to three innings in his next outing, per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca. Bieber opened the 2026 season on the injured list due to right elbow inflammation, which was related to forearm fatigue that he experienced during the offseason. The Blue Jays will have a better sense of Bieber's recovery timeline as he goes out on more rehab starts.
