On Wednesday, Shane Bieber will make his seventh start of the season on the mound.

Bieber did not face the Yankees during last season and is currently 2-1 with a 4.76 ERA across four appearances covering 22.2 innings. Cleveland Guardians will complete their six-game road trip in this matchup against Boston. They had lost two out of three decisions against Boston prior to this series.
