Bieber has tested positive for COVID-19, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bieber reportedly experienced mild symptoms following his positive test and is a late arrival to camp as a result. However, president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti was hopeful that the right-hander will be able to join the team at spring training in the coming days.

Bieber was announced as the 2020 winner of the American League Cy Young award Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander received all 30 first-place votes after a dominating 2020 campaign. Bieber finished with a 1.63 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 122:21 K:BB over 77.1 innings with an 8-1 record in 12 starts. The 25-year-old has solidified himself as Cleveland's ace and one of the best pitchers in baseball heading into the 2021 season.

Bieber (0-1) allowed seven runs across 4.2 innings of work. He allowed nine hits and two walks while striking out seven recording the loss Tuesday to the Yankees in Game 1 of the Wild Card Round.

EDGE Analysis

Bieber had not allowed more than three earned runs in any start during the regular season; yet, allowed seven Tuesday. The 25-year-old threw 62 of his 105 pitches for strikes but the Yankees were successful in driving up his pitch count, resulting in his shortest start in 2020. The right-hander's next chance at taking the mound would be if the Indians can advance to the AL Division Series.

Bieber will start Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old last pitched Wednesday and lined up perfectly to pitch the playoff opener, and it's hardly a surprise Cleveland wants its ace on the mound. Bieber made 12 starts in 2020 and finished the season with a 1.63 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 122:21 K:BB over 77.1 innings and is the frontrunner for the American League Cy Young Award.

Bieber threw five scoreless innings on Wednesday, allowing two hits while striking out 10 during the Indians' 3-2 win over the White Sox. He also walked three.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox tacked on an unearned run in the second and both of their runs for the game were unearned. Bieber finishes his season with a sparkling 1.63 ERA across 77.1 innings pitched. The Cy Young frontrunner boasts a 6.22 K/BB ratio and 12.44 strikeouts per nine innings.

Bieber will have his start pushed to Wednesday against the White Sox, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Indians made an adjustment in their starting rotation to ensure that both Bieber and Zach Plesac will be rested for the start of the postseason. Bieber will enter his last start of the regular season with a 1.74 ERA and 0.86 WHIP across 72.1 frames.

Bieber (8-1) allowed three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out 10 across 7.2 innings to earn the win Thursday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Bieber mowed down the Tigers lineup, playing a key role in the team ending an eight-game losing streak. He held Detroit scoreless until his final pitch when he allowed a three-run home run. Despite the disappointing end, Bieber punched out at least ten batters for the fifth time in his last seven starts. He has also maintained a stellar 1.74 ERA with a 112:18 K:BB ratio across 72.1 frames for the season. He'll take his next turn through the rotation Tuesday against the White Sox.

Bieber (7-1) allowed three runs on five hits (two home runs) and two walks while striking out eight across seven innings but was handed his first loss of the season Friday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Bieber came into Friday's matchup with a 2-0 record and 1.20 ERA against the Twins this season but was not able to contain them as effectively his third time out. The right-hander allowed a two-run homer to Byron Buxton in the second before being taken yard by Ryan Jeffers in the seventh to give the Twins a 3-0 lead. Despite suffering his first loss of the season, Bieber still leads all of major league baseball with nine quality starts, 102 strikeouts and a 1.53 ERA as he has cemented himself as one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball. He'll line up to face the Tigers on the road Thursday.

Bieber (7-0) picked up the win Sunday against the Brewers, allowing one run on five hits and a walk across five innings. He fanned 10.

EDGE Analysis

Bieber's pitch count was the lone thing working against him Sunday, as he was pulled after throwing 103 pitches through five innings. The right-hander continues to be a strikeout machine, as he punched out 10 Brewers to bring his season total to a league-high 94. The 25-year-old is the clear favorite to win the American League Cy Young Award at this point, as he also paces the league in wins (seven) and ERA (1.25). He will look to stay sharp when he takes the hill Friday in Minnesota.

Bieber pitched six scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and four walks while striking out nine versus the Royals on Monday. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Bieber was fantastic and Cleveland's offense scraped together a run in the seventh inning to put him in line for the win. James Karinchak dashed those hopes in the eighth, allowing a pair of runs as Cleveland went on to lose the contest. It's just the second time in eight starts Bieber hasn't gotten a win. The right-hander has a tiny 1.20 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 84 strikeouts across 52.2 innings this year, to go with a perfect 6-0 record. His next start lines up for Sunday versus the Brewers.
