Bibee (knee) is listed as the Guardians' probable pitcher for Monday's game in Detroit.
Bibee experienced cramping in his right knee during his most recent start Wednesday, which also came against the Tigers, but the issue doesn't look as though it'll prevent him from taking his next turn through the rotation. The right-hander will carry an 8-4 record, 3.50 ERA and 1.09 WHIP into Monday's outing.

Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Dealing with cramping
Rotowire
Bibee was removed from Wednesday's game versus Detroit due to lower-extremity cramping, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Most of the attention seemed to be on Bibee's right knee while trainers examined him on the mound, but it appears he managed to avoid a significant injury. The Guardians will presumably keep an eye on him over the next few days, though it seems there is a strong chance he'll be able to make his next scheduled start against the Tigers.

Rotowire
Bibee was removed from his start Wednesday against the Tigers due to an apparent right knee injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Bibee needed just 67 pitches to get through five innings of one-run ball, but he seemed to be having issues with his knee while warming up ahead of the sixth frame. His status for his next start -- tentatively slated for Monday in Detroit -- is uncertain.
Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Blanks Friars for eighth win
Rotowire
Bibee (8-4) picked up the win Friday, scattering two hits and three walks over 5.2 innings in a 7-0 victory over the Padres. He struck out three.
San Diego didn't get a runner past second base against Bibee, who got the hook after 102 pitches (67 strikes) just short of his eighth quality start of the season. While this was an encouraging outing after the right-hander gave up eight runs in 11.2 innings over his last two starts before the All-Star break, Bibee has issued multiple walks in three straight trips to the mound, something he hadn't done since April. He'll take a 3.58 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 126:30 K:BB through 110.2 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Tigers.
Bibee (7-4) took the loss against the Tigers on Wednesday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks with eight strikeouts over seven innings.
Bibee allowed two runs in the first inning and surrendered a two-run homer in the third before rebounding with four scoreless frames. The 25 year-old's velocity was over more than one mph below his season average, and he has yielded four earned runs in back-to-back outings to open July. He will take a 3.77 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 123:27 K:BB into the All-Star break.
