CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Guardians' star pitcher Shane Bieber will be undergoing season-ending Tommy John surgery after a promising start to the 2024 season.
Bieber, who is considered the ace of the Guardians' pitching staff, had been performing well before the decision was made for him to undergo the surgery. The procedure, known as Tommy John surgery, is a common operation for pitchers that involves reconstructing the ulnar collateral ligament in the elbow.
The news of Bieber's surgery comes as a blow to the Guardians, as he had been a key player in their rotation. The team will now have to adjust their pitching strategy for the remainder of the season in his absence.
Bieber had shown great potential in the early part of the season, demonstrating his skill and ability on the mound. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by the team and the fans alike.
Despite the setback, the Guardians will need to rally together and find ways to compensate for the loss of Bieber. It will be a challenging task, but with a strong team and coaching staff, they will look to overcome this obstacle and continue to compete at a high level.
We wish Shane Bieber a successful surgery and a speedy recovery as he looks to return to the field stronger than ever in the future.
