Rotowire
Bibee escaped with a no-decision in Wednesday's win against Kansas City, allowing five earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six in five innings.

The three home runs matched the total he allowed in his first six starts (33 innings) coming out of the All-Star break. Bibee was able to limit the damage and come away with a no-decision, but he has now allowed nine total runs over his last two starts. Despite the recent struggles, the 25-year-old has had an impressive sophomore season, posting a 3.65 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and a dazzling 156:35 K:BB across 143 innings (26 starts).

Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Coughs up four runs
Rotowire
Bibee (10-6) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk over 5.2 innings Friday, striking out six and taking a loss against Texas.
All the damage against Bibee came during a disastrous four-run second inning. Outside of that frame, he let just one Ranger reach scoring position. He's failed to complete six innings in three straight starts and five of his last six outings. However, he's 3-2 with a 2.45 ERA over that stretch. Bibee now owns a 3.46 ERA with a 150:33 K:BB through 138 innings. His next outing is projected to be at home against the Royals.

Bibee has not allowed more than two runs in any of his last five starts, but he didn't receive enough run support this time. The right-hander continues to put together a strong year with a 3.33 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 144:32 K:BB over 132.1 innings across 24 starts.

Bibee hadn't pitched since July 29 due to a shoulder issue, but he was able to avoid a stint on the injured list. He came up an out short of a quality start Sunday, throwing 58 of 84 pitches for strikes to earn his 10th win of the year and his third victory in his last four starts. He's at a 3.39 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 137:31 K:BB through 127.1 innings over 23 starts this season. Assuming he doesn't have a recurrence of the shoulder issue, he's lined up for a road start in Milwaukee next weekend.

Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Set to start Sunday
Rotowire
Bibee (shoulder) is in line to start Sunday at Minnesota, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Bibee made it through a bullpen session Thursday with no issues and appears ready to rejoin the rotation. The right-hander will be pitching on 12 days' rest after having his last turn skipped due to shoulder tightness.
Bibee (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Thursday and could be cleared to start Sunday in Minnesota, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Bibee's last start came July 29, when he gave up two runs over six innings in a win over the Tigers. He experienced right shoulder discomfort coming out of that outing, and while he's now missed more than a week, Bibee seems to have shown some improvement in recent days and still looks poised to avoid a stint on the injured list. After playing catch earlier in the week, Bibee will take another major step forward in the recovery process when he steps back on the mound Thursday. Assuming Bibee experiences no renewed discomfort after the bullpen session, he should be on track to rejoin the rotation Sunday, though he could be operating under some light restrictions.

Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Resumes playing catch
Rotowire
Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said that Bibee (shoulder) resumed playing catch Monday and is expected to slot back into the rotation soon, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Cleveland has already announced its three starters for the series with the Diamondbacks that begins Monday, so Bibee isn't expected to return to action until at least Friday, when the Guardians play a doubleheader in Minnesota. Bibee hasn't started since last Monday, when he experienced some tightness in his shoulder during his outing in Detroit. Assuming he responds well to playing catch and is able to complete a bullpen session in the next couple of days without issue, Bibee should get the green light to pitch at some point during the weekend series versus the Twins.
Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Pushed back with tight shoulder
Rotowire
Bibee's next scheduled start will be pushed back a few days due to right shoulder tightness, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
The righty pitched well in picking up a win Monday versus the Tigers but felt some shoulder discomfort after the outing. Bibee had been slated to take the ball Saturday against the Orioles, but that responsibility will now fall to Joey Cantillo. The Guardians have not revealed a target date for Bibee's next start, but they have an opening Monday versus the Diamondbacks that he could fill if he's feeling up to it.
Bibee (9-4) got the win Monday, allowing two runs on seven hits over six innings in a 8-4 victory over the Tigers. He struck out two without walking a batter.
Bibee got through the first six innings unscathed before getting into trouble and giving up two in the seventh. It was another quality start for the 25-year-old, and he has now allowed just three runs in three outings since the All-Star break. Bibee has paced the Guardians rotation this season with a 3.48 ERA over 121.2 innings. He's scheduled to face the Orioles next in a weekend series at Progressive Field.

Rotowire
Bibee (knee) is listed as the Guardians' probable pitcher for Monday's game in Detroit.
Bibee experienced cramping in his right knee during his most recent start Wednesday, which also came against the Tigers, but the issue doesn't look as though it'll prevent him from taking his next turn through the rotation. The right-hander will carry an 8-4 record, 3.50 ERA and 1.09 WHIP into Monday's outing.
