Bibee will start Game 5 of the ALCS against the Yankees on Saturday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Bibee has made three starts during the postseason so far, during which he's allowed four earned runs over 10 innings. He didn't fare well during his most recent outing in Game 2, however, allowing three runs (two earned) in just 1.1 frames. His abbreviated outing will allow him to pitch on short rest Saturday, and he'll look to quiet the Yankees' offense, which owns a .743 OPS in the postseason.

Guardians' Tanner Bibee: No run support in loss
Rotowire
Bibee (11-7) took the loss Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings.
Bibee pitched well enough to keep the Guardians in the game but received no help from his offense, as the Guardians were shut out by Jack Flaherty and the Dodgers' bullpen. Bibee blanked them through three frames, but the Dodgers were able to push a run across in the fourth after Mookie Betts led off with a triple and then Shohei Ohtani added on in the fifth with a solo home run. Bibee's now issued eight walks over his last three starts and has reached six innings just once over his last six outings. For the year, he owns a 3.56 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 166:41 K:BB in 154 innings. He lines up to face the Rays at home over the weekend his next time out.

Rotowire
Bibee (10-4) allowed one run on six hits and struck out five without walking a batter over 5.2 innings to earn the win Sunday over the Twins.

Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Eyeing Sunday return
Rotowire
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: 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.

Rotowire
Bibee tossed seven scoreless innings, giving up two hits and no walks while striking out nine batters in a no-decision against Atlanta on Saturday.
Bibee made a talented Atlanta offense look inept, racking up 16 swinging strikes and allowing just two hits over seven frames.
