TANNER BIBEE NEWS

Turns in quality start Bibee allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision Sunday versus the Rangers.

Impact Bibee effectively quieted a dangerous lineup despite giving up a solo home run to Marcus Semien to lead off the bottom of the first inning. Prior to Sunday, Bibee had walked multiple batters in each of his last six outings, though he'd also given up more than three runs just once in that span. The rookie right-hander has maintained a solid 3.32 ERA despite a lackluster 1.26 WHIP and 77:28 K:BB over 76 innings through 14 starts. With Shane Bieber (elbow) and Cal Quantrill (shoulder) both on the injured list, Bibee should enjoy continued security in the rotation. He's tentatively lined up for a home start versus the Phillies over the weekend.

Struggles with control Thursday Bibee allowed one run on four hits and four walks while striking out four batters over five innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Thursday.

Impact Bibee tossed only 50 of 91 pitches for a strike in the outing and tied a season high with four walks. However, he managed to mostly work around trouble, allowing just a first-inning run. The rookie's performance was in line with how he's looked lately; he's walked multiple hitters in six straight appearances, compiling 17 free passes over 30.2 frames during that span, but has picked up four wins and posted a respectable 3.52 ERA. Narrow the timeframe to Bibee's past three games and he's recorded a 1.08 ERA and 20 punchouts over 16.2 innings despite walking 10 batters. The strikeouts and ability to maneuver around trouble are promising, though it's fair to wonder if the control issues will eventually catch up to him.

Fans nine in 5.2 frames Bibee (5-2) earned the win over the Cubs on Saturday, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out nine batters over 5.2 scoreless innings.

Impact Bibee struck out two of the three batters he faced in the sixth inning, but he gave up a one-out infield single and wasn't allowed to finish the frame. That cost him a quality start, though the rookie right-hander nonetheless shined, tying a career high with nine punchouts while recording his first scoreless MLB appearance. Bibee has cemented his place in the Guardians' rotation by allowing just one earned run over his past 11.2 frames across two starts, notching a 16:6 K:BB over that span. He's impressed with a 3.46 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 67:23 K:BB in 65 innings overall this season.

Another strong start Bibee (4-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks over six innings against the Brewers. He struck out seven.

Impact After giving up five homers over his last five appearances, Bibee kept the ball in the park Saturday and managed to hold the Brewers without an extra-base hit. The rookie has been quite impressive to start the campaign, allowing one earned run in five of his 11 starts while posting an 8.80 K/9 through 59.1 innings. His lone blemish has been his control, as he's dished out at least three walks four times. Bibee's tentatively scheduled to make his next appearance against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Gets back in win column Bibee (3-2) earned the win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings.

Impact After a disastrous start Tuesday versus the Padres, it was good to see Bibee submit a decent effort. It still wasn't very efficient -- he needed 105 pitches (65 strikes) to complete five frames -- but he had plenty of support from the Guardians' offense. Bibee now has a 4.05 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 51:17 K:BB over 53.1 innings through his first 10 major-league starts. He's not dominating opponents, but he's done enough to hold down a spot at the back end of the rotation. Bibee's next start is projected to be at home versus the Brewers.

JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Worst start of season Bibee (2-2) allowed six runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over four-plus innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Padres.

Impact The Padres' four-run first inning was ultimately all they needed to win. Bibee yielded four of the six runs on home runs by Gary Sanchez and Fernando Tatis over the first two frames before settling down a bit. This was Bibee's worst start of nine in his young career, as he allowed season highs in hits and runs while walking multiple batters for the fourth time. He's still at a reasonable 3.91 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 45:14 K:BB over 48.1 innings. Bibee is projected for a tough road start in Arizona over the weekend, and his place in the rotation is at least somewhat stable until Cal Quantrill (shoulder) can return to the active roster.

Earns second win Wednesday Bibee (2-1) earned the win Wednesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks over five innings against the Red Sox. He struck out two.

Impact Bibee allowed one or fewer earned run for the fourth time this season and picked up his second win. The right-hander made his big-league debut at the end of April and has delivered a strong first impression, posting a 3.05 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB across eight appearances (44.1 innings). The Guardians' rotation recently got Aaron Civale and Triston McKenzie back, but Bibee has done enough to stick around long term, especially with Cal Quantrill (shoulder) moving to the injured list. Bibee's next start is scheduled for the opener of a three-game set in San Diego.

JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fans six in no-decision Bibee tossed five innings against Minnesota on Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six batters over five innings.

Impact Bibee's three-game quality-start streak came to an end, but he fared relatively well across five frames. The rookie right-hander began the outing with three scoreless innings before Minnesota tagged him for three runs across the fourth and fifth, resulting in his removal. This was just the second time Bibee has yielded more than two runs over seven major-league starts, which speaks to his steadiness so far for Cleveland. He's posted a 3.20 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB in 39.1 innings overall, and though both Triston McKenzie (shoulder) and Aaron Civale (oblique) are slated to rejoin the rotation this week, Bibee's starting spot should be safe considering his strong performance and Cal Quantrill's (shoulder) upcoming move to the IL.

Rookies Tanner Bibee, Logan Allen might be forcing Guardians' hand in upcoming decisions Optioning one of the rookies could be the simplest solution. Except, those rookies have been the best of the rotation by a wide margin.

Guardians rookie making a strong case to remain in rotation Tanner Bibee has made three consecutive quality starts and looked strong again Saturday against St. Louis.

MAY 28, 2023 • CLEVELAND.COM

Excellent again Saturday Bibee allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over six innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Saturday.

Impact Bibee stifled the Cardinals' bats throughout the contest, but a second-inning solo home run by Brendan Donovan was enough to hold him to a no-decision. The right-hander racked up an impressive 19 swinging strikes en route to a career-high nine punchouts, and he picked up his third consecutive quality start. Bibee has had one bad outing this season -- a 3.2-inning, four-run effort against Detroit on May 8 -- but has otherwise been fantastic. Overall, he's posted a 2.88 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB across 35.1 frames.

Delivers quality start Bibee didn't factor in the decision in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets. He allowed two runs on seven hits with four walks and three strikeouts across six innings.

Impact The 23-year-old threw 62 of his 99 pitches for strikes and struggled to find the zone at times with four free passes, but he was able to limit the damage to two runs. It's the second time in five starts Bibee has walked four batters, but he hasn't issued a single walk in his other three outings. He's off to a strong start in his first taste of the big leagues with a 3.18 ERA and 25:8 K:BB over 28.1 frames.

Game postponed Saturday Bibee will have his start pushed back a day after the Guardians' contest with the Mets was postponed Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact The two teams will play a doubleheader Sunday now as a result of the weather and Bibee will seemingly toe the rubber for one of the contests. The right-hander went 7.2 innings in his last start, limiting the Angels to one run on two hits while striking out seven batters. The rookie appears likely to stick around Cleveland's rotation moving forward.
