Shane Bieber savors Cleveland homecoming, his first visit since Guardians traded him to Toronto

Bieber said the homecoming brought back memories as he reunited with former teammates and coaches while recovering from elbow inflammation.

  • Shane Bieber returned to Progressive Field for the first time since the Guardians traded him to the Jays, marking an emotional homecoming for the 31-year-old All-Star Game MVP.
  • The Guardians traded Bieber to Toronto for pitching prospect Khal Stephen, ending his tenure with the franchise where he established himself as a key figure from 2018 to 2025.
  • Walking into the visitor's dugout felt "odd" to Bieber, who spent nearly an hour reconnecting with former teammates and reflected that Cleveland's support from 2018 to 2025 was "very special."
  • Bieber remains on the injured list with elbow inflammation after shutting down Tampa on Aug. 20, unable to pitch on the mound where he won All-Star Game MVP honors in 2019.
  • Despite his injury, Bieber said, "It's a great place to come back to," adding, "It's something that I've been looking forward to for a very long time" as he continues recovery.
