Shane Bieber Officially Goes on 15-Day Injured List
The Toronto Blue Jays placed right-hander Shane Bieber (elbow) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to March 22) on Wednesday with right-elbow inflammation, according to Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling. Bieber was looking like a potential value pick in 2026 fantasy drafts this spring at the end of last year, but he reportedly dealt with right-forearm fatigue last year, so the Blue Jays are playing it safe with the veteran 30-year-old. Bieber has yet to throw off a mound this spring, so he has a ways to go and might not be able to make his 2026 season debut until May. He didn't debut last year until late August after recovering from Tommy John surgery, and he went 4-2 with a 3.57 ERA (4.47 FIP), 1.02 WHIP, and 37:7 K:BB in 40 1/3 innings over seven regular-season starts after his return. Most promising was the fact that Bieber's velocity was up. He gave up a lot of hard contact, though, and more injury concerns going into this season make him a more volatile fantasy stash for rotation depth.
