Guardians' Shane Bieber: Activated ahead of start

The Guardians reinstated Bieber (elbow) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start Friday against Baltimore, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

Bieber looked good in two minor-league rehab outings, surrendering just one run across 7.1 frames while striking out 11 batters. He'll be limited to roughly 80 pitches as he makes his first big-league start since mid-July and will face an Orioles offense that ranks ninth in the majors in OPS (.750).
