Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Shane Bieber returns to the team and is nearing a return to game action, manager John Schneider says, according to reports. Bieber, 31, has been working through a rehabilitation process and has completed a five-game rehab stint. As part of that assignment, he made a start for the Blue Jays’ Triple-A affiliate, the Buffalo Bisons, on Wednesday. The manager’s comments indicate that Bieber is progressing toward being available for MLB duty, though no specific timeline for his next appearance is provided in the reports. The information confirms that Bieber has recently been active in games at the minor-league level and is now back with the major-league club. Both outlets describe his return in similar terms: he has finished the rehab period with a start in Buffalo and is moving closer to rejoining the Blue Jays’ pitching rotation. Details such as innings, pitch count, or a precise return date are not included in the provided summaries.
