After seven dominant rehab starts, a 1.86 ERA and 11.9 K/9, Bieber made his return to the majors and debut for the Blue Jays on Friday. On the road against the Miami Marlins, the 30-year-old flew threw six innings, allowing just two hits, one run and struck out nine. Along with zero walks, it was a return to vintage Bieber.

This new Toronto Blue Jays pitcher is looking forward to his first start with the team -- for a wide variety of reasons.

Shane Bieber struck out nine over six innings of one-run ball in his Toronto debut and return from a 16-month absence as the Blue Jays beat the Miami Marlins 5-2
