The Toronto Blue Jays announced Tuesday that right‑handed starter Shane Bieber will spend the next 15 days on the injured list. The move was retroactive to last Friday and cites inflammation of the right teres major muscle.

Impact on the rotation

Bieber, 31, entered the season with a 5‑2 record and a 4.53 ERA over 11 starts. He made his first appearance of the year on June 23 after missing time earlier with elbow inflammation. The Triple Crown winner in 2020 has compiled a 71‑36 record and a 3.32 ERA in 154 career appearances (152 starts) across his tenure with the Cleveland franchise and Toronto.

Recall of Chad Dallas

To fill the roster spot, the Blue Jays recalled right‑hander Chad Dallas from Triple‑A Buffalo. Dallas, 26, has made three relief appearances for Toronto this season, posting a 1‑1 record with an 8.22 ERA since his major‑league debut on June 4. In Buffalo, he recorded a 0‑3 record with one save and a 3.34 ERA across 21 games (12 starts).

What’s next for Toronto

The club will look to the depth of its pitching staff while Bieber recovers. Manager John Schneider emphasized the importance of staying healthy and trusting the organization’s depth. Fans can expect Dallas to receive more opportunities in the rotation or bullpen as the season progresses.

Season context

Toronto is currently navigating a competitive AL East race. Injuries have tested the roster, and the Blue Jays have relied on call‑ups and bullpen flexibility to maintain momentum. Bieber’s return will be closely watched, as his veteran experience and proven track record are key assets for a team aiming for postseason contention.
