Right-hander Shane Bieber is set to make his Blue Jays debut on Friday night when Toronto visits the Miami Marlins.
Bieber, who won the American League Cy Young Award for the Cleveland Guardians in 2020, was acquired by the Blue Jays on July 31.
He is only now set to make his debut because he has been out since April of 2024 due to Tommy John surgery.
It remains to be seen how much Bieber -- a two-time All-Star and a 2022 Gold Glove award-winner -- can give the Blue Jays. Bieber lost his lone career start against Miami on April 22, 2023, when he gave up three runs and four hits over 5 2/3 innings.
Eric Lauer, who has made 14 starts and six relief appearances this year, will be available to pitch bulk innings behind Bieber. Lauer has been outstanding this year, going 8-2 with a 2.76 ERA.
Meanwhile, the Marlins -- who have not yet announced a starting pitcher for Friday's game

Max Fried (13-5, 3.26 ERA), who is 2-3 with a 7.20 ERA in his past six outings, will start for the Yankees on Friday. On Saturday in St. Louis, he earned the win despite allowing a season-high seven runs on eight hits in five-plus innings during a 12-8 victory.
"I think stuff-wise, he's very close to who he's been all year and who he's been when he's been at his very best," Boone said Thursday afternoon. "So I do feel like it's something that hopefully can click because he's probably been searching for a little bit out there and fighting himself a little bit out there."
Fried is 2-1 with a 2.84 ERA in three career starts against the Red Sox. He took the loss June 15 at Boston when he allowed two runs on six hits in seven innings.
Boston's Friday starter, Brayan Bello (9-6, 3.23 ERA), will attempt to reach double-digit victories for the third straight season. The right-hander last pitched on Saturday, when he allowed two runs on four hits over 6 1/3 innings to beat the Miami Marlins.
Bello opposed Fried on June 15 and threw seven scoreless innings and surrendered only three hits in seven innings during a 2-0 win. He is 4-3 with a 2.21 ERA in nine career starts against the Yankees.
