Buffalo Bisons News Release


Oh, baby, baby, baby... oh, the big names keep coming for the Bisons this week at Sahlen Field. Following the additions of former Major League All-Stars RHP Alek Manoah on Wednesday and OF George Springer on Thursday, the Blue Jays have announced that RHP SHANE BIEBER is scheduled to make another MLB injury rehabilitation start with the Herd, this time for the club's Honda fridaynightbash! against the IronPigs (6:35 p.m.)

A 2-time All-Star himself, Bieber joined the Bisons on August 3 after being acquired by Toronto in a trade with Cleveland and has already impressed in his first two starts in the organization. He struck out six in five innings of work on August 3 at Sahlen Field and followed that up with six more strikeouts in 5.2 innings of work last Saturday in Worchester. Combined, Bieber has also allowed just nine hits in those 10.2 innings of work for a 3.38 ERA.

Bieber is a two-time all-star, representing the American League in 2019 and 2021. He was named the 2019 All-Star MVP in front of his hometown crowd in Cleveland after striking out all three batters he faced in the fifth inning of the game. The 30-year-old won the 2020 American League Cy Young Award after going 8-1 with a 1.63 ERA in the regular season for Cleveland. He led the Majors in wins, ERA, as well as strikeouts (122) that season. He has a career 62-32 record across parts of seven MLB seasons, all with Cleveland starting in 2018. He has won 11 or more game three times in his career, and has a lifetime 3.22 ERA. Celebrity Look-a-Like Night
