Why Blue Jays may be slow playing deadline acquisition Shane Bieber's rehab process

When Toronto Blue Jays General Manager Ross Atkins acquired Shane Bieber in a deadline day deal with the Cleveland Guardians, it was with one goal in mind - Bieber is supposed to pitch in a World Series game for Toronto.

That's no pressure at all for a guy who hasn't pitched in the Majors Leagues in over a year! Bieber, who won the 2020 Cy Young award, has been rehabbing all season, coming off of Tommy John surgery. He got into some minor league games last month and has also had one outing for Toronto's Triple-A affiliate, the Buffalo Bisons.
