Guardians ace Bieber set for Tommy John surgery

Key Facts

• Cleveland's ace will have season-ending Tommy John elbow surgery, a major blow to the Guardians and the 2020 Cy Young winner, who had looked like his dominant self in two strong starts to open the season.
• "He really put in a ton of work this winter and throughout spring training, and we all felt he was on a good path to stay healthy and contribute for the balance of the season," Antonetti said.
• The Guardians are hoping to contend in the American League Central and will need others to step up with Bieber no longer anchoring the staff.
• "At the same time, we are a resilient group and we found ways to overcome obstacles and injuries in the past, and I believe that the group that we have will be able to come together and find a way to help us continue to win games but it certainly will be harder to do without the health of Shane Bieber."
