Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Shane Bieber is preparing for his first outing with his new team on Friday. All that's transpired since his last one is a major elbow surgery, a long recovery process, and a trade away from the Cleveland Guardians, the only organization he'd ever known.

Bieber looked sharp immediately. He struck out Xavier Edwards with an 82.6 mph knuckle curve and fanned Jakob Marsee with an 89.3 mph changeup in the first inning.

Shane Bieber struck out nine over six dominant innings of one-run ball in his debut with the Toronto Blue Jays and first appearance in 16 months
