Bieber will be available in Cleveland's bullpen for Game 5 of the ALDS against the Yankees on Tuesday, though he's unlikely to be used, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Guardians could have turned to Bieber on three days' rest to start Game 5, something the Yankees elected to do with Nestor Cortes, but they'll instead go with Aaron Civale. Cleveland seems to be trying to keep Bieber available to start Game 1 of the ALCS if at all possible, though they'll have to get there first. Bieber could certainly be part of the equation, but the Guardians have a strong bullpen and might not need to call on him.

Bieber is scheduled to start Game 2 of the Guardians' ALDS matchup with the Yankees on Friday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bieber was set to start Thursday, but a rainout pushed that game back a day, and he will take the ball Friday instead. Bieber was brilliant in his first appearance of the postseason, giving up just one earned run over 7.2 innings and picking up the win last Friday against the Rays.

Bieber (13-8) earned the win Sunday against Kansas City, striking out three in five innings while allowing two runs (one earned) on seven hits and a walk.

EDGE Analysis

After scattering two hits and a walk through the first three innings, Bieber ran into trouble in the fourth and was the victim of some bad defense. The Royals hit three singles in the fourth and scored one of their two runs following a throwing error by Gabriel Arias. The five frames completed brought Bieber's season total to exactly 200, his second time reaching that mark in his career. He lines up to start one of the first two games of the American League Wild Card at the end of the week in Cleveland.

Bieber allowed four runs on six hits while striking out six in six innings of a 6-5 extra-innings loss Tuesday against Tampa Bay. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

After scattering two hits in the first three innings, Bieber struggled to get outs in the fourth inning. Four batters recorded hits, including Jose Siri's two-out, two-run homer. Following the offensive outburst, he retired the last seven batters he faced. The poor inning ended his streak of 11 straight quality starts. While he's compiled a 2.51 ERA in six September starts, he's also given up seven long balls, equal to the total in his previous 17 starts combined.

Bieber (12-8) earned the win over the White Sox on Thursday, completing 7.2 innings and allowing two runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out five batters.

EDGE Analysis

Bieber yielded a run in the first inning but didn't allow Chicago to get back on the scoreboard until Gavin Sheets took him deep for a solo homer in the eighth. The righty hurler ended up with his fourth straight victory and his 11th consecutive quality start. Over that 11-game stretch, Bieber has posted an impressive 1.75 ERA and 79:9 K:BB along with an 8-2 record across 77.1 frames.

Bieber (11-8) gave up one run on four hits and zero walks while striking out six in eight innings Saturday against the Twins. He picked up the win.

EDGE Analysis

Bieber was in complete control, save for a solo home run from rookie Matt Wallner in the eighth inning on a hanging breaking ball. He has given up exactly one earned run in five of his last six starts. Bieber is on pace to make his next start in Chicago against the White Sox next week.

Bieber (10-8) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over 6.1 innings against the Twins. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

The Cleveland ace extended his quality starts streak to nine games en route to his 10th victory on the season. While he only has 10 wins, Sunday was his 21st quality start, indicating that he has been a victim of poor run support this year. He will take a 2.91 ERA into his next start, which is slated to come at home versus the Twins.

Bieber (9-8) allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven over eight innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Bieber limited the damage to a Salvador Perez solo shot in the fourth inning. This matched Bieber's second-longest outing of the season, and he's now allowed one earned run in three of his last four starts. The Guardians' ace trimmed his ERA to 2.96 with a 1.06 WHIP and 171:34 K:BB through 167 innings over 26 starts this year. He's lined up for a road start this weekend against the Twins if Cleveland takes advantage of Thursday's off day to get by with a four-man rotation this week.

Bieber (8-8) took the loss Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over seven innings against the Orioles. He struck out 11.

EDGE Analysis

Bieber allowed two first-inning solo homers -- one from Cedric Mullins to lead off the game and another from Anthony Santander with one out - before giving up a third in the fourth inning to first baseman Ryan Mountcastle. The righty has now recorded seven straight quality starts, pitching seven innings in five of those starts. Despite the barrage of deep balls in this outing, the 27-year-old has not allowed a home run in eight of his last 11 appearances.

Bieber allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and struck out nine over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners. He did not walk a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Both runs Bieber allowed came on sacrifice flies. He was slightly more effective than Seattle starter Logan Gilbert in what amounted to a pitchers' duel. Bieber has strung together six straight quality starts, allowing nine runs (seven earned) across 40.1 innings in that stellar span. The Cleveland ace has a 3.02 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 153:32 K:BB through 152 innings through 24 outings this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Orioles next week.
