Shane Bieber will have to wait one more day for his season debut.
The Toronto Blue Jays pitcher was moved to start Tuesday against the Houston Astros after the team's series finale against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday was postponed, per Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling on Monday.
Dylan Cease, who was set to start at Wrigley Field, will get the nod in Monday's series opener against the Astros (Sportsnet, Sportsnet+, 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT).
A mid-season acquisition by the Blue Jays last summer, Bieber managed only seven regular-season starts with Toronto as he recovered from a Tommy John surgery he underwent the season prior, while with the Cleveland Guardians. He finished with a 3.57 ERA and 1.017 WHIP in 40.1 innings.
The 31-year-old is coming off a less-than-stellar rehab start on Wednesday, where he threw 80 pitches, allowed five earned runs and 11 baserunners in five-plus innings.
He had been sidelined since spring training with elbow inflammation.
