Blue Jays place right-handed pitcher Shane Bieber on 15-game injured list
Shane Bieber was placed on the 15-day injured list with right teres major inflammation, and Chad Dallas was recalled from Triple-A.
On Tuesday, the Toronto Blue Jays placed right-handed pitcher Shane Bieber on the 15-day injured list with inflammation of his right teres major muscle, recalling Chad Dallas from Triple-A Buffalo.
The move is retroactive to Friday, August 21, one day after Bieber pitched seven scoreless innings in a 5-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, with 30 games remaining in the regular season.
Bieber holds a 5-2 record with a 4.37 ERA this season, while Dallas has posted a 3.34 ERA over 62 innings with the Buffalo Bisons and previously pitched 7.2 innings for Toronto.
Toronto enters Tuesday's play trailing the Cleveland Guardians by two games for the final American League Wild Card spot, forcing the franchise to rely on roster depth during the playoff stretch.
The organization hopes Bieber recovers in time for a potential playoff push, though the right-hander will become a free agent at season's end, adding urgency to his rehabilitation timeline.
