"Guardians' Ace Shane Bieber to Undergo Season-Ending Tommy John Surgery"

Cleveland Guardians ace Shane Bieber will undergo season-ending Tommy John elbow surgery after battling through pain in his first two strong starts of the season. The 2020 Cy Young winner's decision comes after experiencing worsening elbow issues, despite his impressive performance. The 28-year-old pitcher, who was limited to 21 starts last year due to similar problems, will need up to 16 months to recover, dealing a major blow to the Guardians' pitching staff. The team, off to a 6-2 start, will now look to other players to step up in Bieber's absence.
