Guardians' Shane Bieber: Throws live BP session

Bieber (elbow) threw a live batting practice session Friday, MLB.com reports.

Bieber came out of the session without issue, but manager Stephen Vogt said the right-hander still "has a ways to go" before getting into game action. The 29-year-old made only two starts in 2024, posting a dazzling 0.00 ERA and 20:1 K:BB in 12 innings before being shut down and undergoing Tommy John surgery.
