Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Shane Bieber has been sidelined on the 15-day injured list due to an inflamed teres major muscle in his right shoulder, a setback for the team vying for a wild-card spot as the season reaches its final stretch. The injury, which was detected following discomfort in a bullpen session, has put the former American League Cy Young Award winner out of action. Bieber, who holds a 5-2 record with a 4.37 earned-run average this season, had previously faced a stint on the injured list due to elbow and forearm issues. While the team remains hopeful for his return this season, the absence of Bieber poses a challenge for the Blue Jays as they fight for a playoff berth. Currently, Toronto sits two games behind a wild-card position with 30 games remaining in the regular season. Despite the setback, manager John Schneider remains optimistic about the team’s resilience in navigating through the loss of their star pitcher.
