Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Fans six in quality start
Rotowire
Bibee did not factor into the decision in Sunday's game against the Astros, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out six across 6.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.
Bibee kept the Astros off the board through the first six innings. He looked to be in line for the win with the Guardians up 2-0, but he yielded a two-run double to Cam Smith in the seventh before being pulled. Bibee is up to six quality starts this season and boasts a 3.81 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 62:23 K:BB across 75.2 innings, but the 14 home runs he's allowed are fourth-most in the American League. He's slated to start against the Mariners on the road next weekend.

Rotowire
Bibee (4-6) took the loss Tuesday, giving up three runs on four hits and two walks over 6.1 innings as the Guardians fell 3-2 to the Yankees. He struck out six.
The right-hander delivered his fifth quality start of the year on a season-high 107 pitches (63 strikes), but back-to-back solo shots by Jazz Chisholm and Anthony Volpe to lead off the seventh inning broke a 1-1 tie and stuck Bibee with the loss. After failing to strike out more than five batters in any outing through mid-May, Bibee seems to have re-discovered his ability to miss bats, posting a 3.44 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB over his last three starts and 18.1 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home this weekend against the Astros.
Bibee (4-5) yielded four runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings Tuesday, striking out seven and taking a loss against the Dodgers.

Bibee threw 59 of 95 pitches for strikes and walked multiple batters for the first time since May 4. His ERA is up to 3.86 alongside a 50:21 K:BB across 63 frames.

Rotowire
Bibee (3-4) took the loss in Friday's game against the Reds after giving up five runs (four earned) on 10 hits and a walk while striking out four batters in six innings.

He managed to settle in during the next three frames, but the early deficit proved to be too large for the Guardians' offense to come back from. After taking losses in consecutive starts, the 26-year-old righty will look to turn things around next week against the Twins.

Guardians' Tanner Bibee: On track to start Saturday
Rotowire
Bibee (legs) is listed as the Guardians' probable starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the Phillies in Cleveland.
Bibee dealt with cramping in both of his legs during his most recent start Sunday at Toronto, but after receiving treatment, the right-hander won't have to miss a turn through the rotation. After being named the Guardians' Opening Day starter coming out of spring training, Bibee has disappointed through his first seven outings of the season, going 3-2 with a 4.26 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 7.5 K-BB% in 38 innings. The 7.5 K-BB% represents a drop of nearly 13 percentage points from his 2024 mark.

Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Exits start with apparent cramping
Rotowire
Bibee was removed ahead of the bottom of the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Blue Jays due to apparent leg cramping, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. He struck out three and allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks over five innings and departed with a 4-3 lead.
Bibee came on the field to warm up in the sixth but quickly signaled for the Cleveland training staff to visit him on the mound. After a brief consultation, Bibee headed to the dugout, and the Guardians called upon Tim Herrin to relieve him. Provided Bibee's early exit wasn't due to anything more than cramping, he should be ready to make his next turn through the rotation next weekend against the Phillies, but fantasy managers will want to keep close tabs on the right-hander's status nonetheless.

Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Allows one run over seven frames
Rotowire
Bibee didn't factor in the decision Tuesday against the Twins despite giving up one run on five hits and no walks across seven innings. He struck out five.
The right-hander had little trouble dispatching Minnesota outside the fifth inning, which is when Ty France knotted the game 1-1 with a solo homer. Bibee threw 64 of 92 pitches for strikes, and the improved command was a welcome sight with it being the first time through six starts this year that he didn't walk a batter. The long ball continues to be a concern as he's already given up nine homers, but Bibee is trending up with just three runs allowed in his past two starts.
Bibee (2-2) allowed two runs on five hits and three walks over six innings Tuesday, striking out five and earning a win over the Yankees.
Bibee was taken deep by Ben Rice on the first pitch of the game, but the Yankees didn't plate another run until Jazz Chisholm's sacrifice fly in the sixth inning. Bibee picked up his first win since his season debut March 30; he was 0-2 with an 8.16 ERA in three starts between wins. The 26-year-old threw 70 of 106 pitches for strikes but forced only four whiffs. Bibee now owns a 5.19 ERA with a 20:14 K:BB through 26 innings. He's projected to face the Twins at home next week.
Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Tagged for six runs in loss
Rotowire
Bibee (1-2) came away with the loss against the Orioles on Thursday. He allowed six runs on five hits and four walks while striking out five across 5.2 innings.
Bibee was hurt by the long ball Thursday, as three home runs accounted for all six of the runs against him. The right-hander hasn't allowed a run in two of his four starts this season, but in his other two outings he's given up a combined 13 runs (including seven homers) over 9.2 innings. Things won't get easier for Bibee in his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against Aaron Judge and the Yankees.
Bibee didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 7-0 win over Kansas City, allowing three hits and four walks while striking out four batters over 4.2 shutout innings.
Bibee needed to retire just one more batter to qualify for his second win of the season, but after walking Bobby Witt in the fifth inning, the right-hander's pitch count had already climbed to 96. The Guardians decided to pull him early for Tim Herrin, who collected the final out of the frame and went on to take home the win. Bibee now sits on a 4.40 ERA and 1.40 WHIP entering his next start -- tentatively scheduled to come in Baltimore next week -- though all of the damage was done in one particularly poor outing against the Angels.
