But then he rejoined the Blue Jays in the offseason to try to turn things around and see if they could overcome their overtime loss in Game 7 of the World Series.
It may not be easy, but Bieber could be an important part of the journey.
If he can get healthy again.
On Thursday, Bieber received a clean bill of health from head coach John Schneider, according to a report by MLB.com’s Keegan Matheson.
“Biebers isn’t that far behind. Biebs is throwing and feeling good. He’s throwing 120 feet,” Schneider said. “Hopefully in the next week to two weeks he can get off the mound and start his progression. There are some options as well.”

Speaking to reporters a week ago, Bieber warned that he would move “slowly and wisely.”
The regular season is still more than a month away.

Bieber also has a few shortened seasons to consider as he makes plans for his future.
He made just two starts in 2024 before having Tommy John surgery, and didn’t return until the summer of 2025 when he recovered from the injury.
Regardless, the Blue Jays likely don’t want to bring him back, as he may struggle to reach 200 innings over the course of a full season after his recent injury history.
