Reliever Spencer Miles<\/a> will start Wednesday\u2019s game against the Kansas City Royals<\/a> as the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> turn to their bullpen to replace injured pitcher Shane Bieber<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bieber was scheduled to start Wednesday before he was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right teres major inflammation. Toronto recalled right-handed pitcher Chad Dallas<\/a> in a corresponding move.<\/p>\n

Miles will look to get the Blue Jays off to a strong start as the team tries to bounce back from a 5-3 loss to the Royals on Tuesday. The 26-year-old righty has a 5-2 record with a 3.02 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP through 40 games this season. <\/p>\n

Miles has started four games this season, pitching four innings in two starts last month and going three innings over two starts in May. <\/p>\n

With Tuesday\u2019s loss, the Blue Jays now sit two and a half games back in the American League wild-card race with four teams stuck between them and the Cleveland Guardians<\/a>, who occupy the final AL playoff spot. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reliever Spencer Miles will start Wednesday\u2019s game against the Kansas City Royals as the Toronto Blue Jays turn…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":872155,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[712,49,48,462,283797,82,75156],"class_list":["post-872154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-apple-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-spencer-miles-sports-baseball-player-player-statscom-1397624","tag-sports","tag-toronto-blue-jays-sports-baseball-team-team-statscom-238"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=872154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872154\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/872155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=872154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=872154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=872154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
