Cleveland Guardians ace Shane Bieber was slated to be on the mound Monday for his first home opener start for Cleveland with fans in the crowd. Now, after multiple consultations on some pain he recently started experiencing, that won't be the case. Instead, he'll soon undergo surgery, the team said Saturday.
Bieber opened the season on the mound for the Guardians in Oakland and started again in Seattle on Tuesday. After those starts, the pitcher started feeling pain in his right elbow, the same elbow he had previously injured last year. Team physicians took imaging of Bieber's elbow, which confirmed the presence of a re-injury to his proximal ulnar collateral ligament, according to the team.
Because it's a re-injury that he had rested and rehabilitated previously, doctors recommended surgical reconstruction of the ligament, also known as Tommy John Surgery. The typical recovery time for that surgery is 12-18 months. Bieber and the Guardians are in the process of coordinating surgery with Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas.
