Seattle’s Kirby to face Toronto’s Bieber in Game 3 of ALCS with Mariners’ Woo close to return

Kirby will start Game 3 in the ALCS against Bieber as Woo nears return from injury, potentially boosting Mariners' pitching depth in the postseason.

  • On Wednesday, Mariners right-hander George Kirby is expected to start Game 3 in Seattle against Blue Jays right-hander and 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber.
  • Kirby entered the ALCS after starting Game 5 last Friday and the series opener, going 10-8 with a 4.21 ERA in 23 regular-season starts this year.
  • Recovering pitcher Bryan Woo hasn’t pitched since Sept. 19 due to pectoral inflammation but threw a live batting-practice session before Monday’s Game 2 in Toronto and was a 2025 All-Star.
  • Bieber's post-trade numbers include a 4-2 mark with a 3.57 ERA in seven starts, and he gave up three runs, two earned, and five hits in 2 2/3 innings in Game 3 of Toronto's Division Series.
  • Mariners manager Dan Wilson said Luis Castillo is expected to start Game 4 on Thursday and Woo’s next checks involve how he responds the day after his workout for a potential Game 5 on Friday.
