The Toronto Blue Jays acquired Shane Bieber from the Cleveland Guardians at the deadline, and he opened up on his rehab.

Shane Bieber inched tantalizingly closer to a return Sunday in his rehab start with triple-A Buffalo. The Blue Jays marquee deadline acquisition could be a rare difference-maker down the stretch, writes Sportsnet’s Arden Zwelling.

Bieber is a two-time All-Star and former AL Cy Young Award winner, but he hasn't pitched a full season since 2022 due to injury. The 30-year-old spent his entire career with the Cleveland Guardians before they traded him to the Blue Jays for pitching prospect Khal Stephen.
