Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber is slated to make a rehab start on Tuesday
CHICAGO (AP) — Cleveland Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber is slated to make a rehab start in the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday. Bieber is coming back from Tommy John surgery in April 2024. He had a setback when he experienced soreness during a bullpen session on June 3. The 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner had a bullpen session in Cleveland on Sunday. Bieber made two starts for the Guardians last year, going 2-0 and striking out 20 in 12 scoreless innings. The right-hander agreed to a $14 million, one-year contract in December that includes a $16 million player option for 2026. Trevor Stephan, another right-hander who is coming back from Tommy John surgery, was hit hard in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Columbus on Sunday. He recorded one out and was charged with four runs and two hits. The Guardians also said infielder Gabriel Arias is expected to start running the bases in the next few days. Arias is coming back from a sprained left ankle. Outfielder Chase DeLauter, one of the team's top prospects, was out of the Columbus lineup again on Sunday. He has been playing through some right wrist soreness, and he had an uptick in symptoms Saturday. The Guardians said the plan is to have DeLauter evaluated to determine a plan for him moving forward. ___ AP baseball:

MLB Draft 2025 live tracker: Start time, latest mock, how to watch, draft order
ATLANTA — A slew of left-handed pitchers, a handful of organizations ready to chart a new course and shortstops, shortstops and more shortstops: All are ready to fly off the board when Major League Baseball's 2025 draft tips off tonight at 6 p.m. ET. Coverage will be provided by ESPN and MLB Network and it will begin with commissioner Rob Manfred stepping to the podium inside the Battery's Roxy Theater to announce the Washington Nationals' first selection. The Nationals won the draft lottery in December and since then have been favored to select Oklahoma prep shortstop Ethan Holliday, son of All-Star Matt Holliday and brother of Jackson Holliday, the No. 1 overall pick by the Baltimore Orioles in 2022. The Hollidays would join NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning as the only brothers to each be drafted first overall. Yet a rush of college standouts have threatened Holliday's standing, led by LSU left-hander Kade Anderson, who pitched the Tigers to the national title featuring a majors-ready mix of several pitchers. His SEC rival, lefty Liam Doyle and Holliday's friend and Oklahoma high school cohort Eli Willits are all expected to go within the first five to seven picks. The first three rounds of the draft - including compensation picks - will be conducted Sunday before rounds 4 through 20 are held away from the TV cameras Monday. What time is the MLB Draft?
