Bieber (elbow) allowed one earned run on two hits and no walks while striking out four over three innings Tuesday in a rehab start for High-A Lake County.

The Guardians planned for him to throw three innings and between 40 and 45 pitches, and the right-hander hit both targets. Thirty of his 43 pitches landed for strikes Tuesday in what was his first start with a full-season affiliate after Bieber threw two scoreless innings in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League a week ago. He'll need to make at least two more starts in the minors to build up his pitch count before he returns from the 60-day injured list, likely in early or mid-August.
