Bieber (shoulder) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to make a start later this week so long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks following Tuesday's bullpen session, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
The right-hander built up to 57 pitches in his lates rehab outing with Double-A Akron on Sunday, and so long as he's able to complete Tuesday's bullpen without any issues, his next start is expected to come for the big club. While Cleveland has not speculated on a specific game for Bieber to be activated, either Friday or Saturday against the White Sox would seem to make the most sense from a rest standpoint. The reigning American League Cy Young winner is expected to be capped at around 75 pitches if he's indeed able to return over the weekend.
