Guardians’ Bieber won’t throw for 2 weeks, apparently won’t need surgery, Francona says

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Cleveland Guardians right-hander Shane Bieber won’t be able to throw for two weeks because of an inflamed right elbow but apparently won’t require surgery. Manager Terry Francona says: “It definitely looks like it’s a non-surgical way to go, which is really good” and adds: “He’s going to be approximately two weeks no throw. He’ll be rechecked every week.” The 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday. He was examined on Sunday by Texas Rangers physician Dr. Keith Meister. Bieber took a commercial flight back to Cleveland as the team traveled to Pittsburgh.
