2025 Player Outlook

Bieber underwent Tommy John surgery in April, and the usual 12–15-month recovery timeline puts his return likely at the mid-point of the 2025 season. Injuries have plagued numerous seasons for Bieber, but when healthy, he's an above-average fantasy arm and in reality, a frontline starter. If your league has IL spots, you can afford to stash Bieber and make his current ADP more palatable. If you take the chance on the veteran right-hander, you have to hope that the velocity is there upon his return, and his breaking stuff has its normal bite.
