Bibee

Bibee allowed just two hits and a pair of walks on the evening. Both of the hits that he did allow were solo homers — to James Outman in the third and to Spencer Torkelson to lead off the eighth. The 27-year-old hurler got 15 swings and misses on 91 pitches on the night — five on his sinker — while posting a strong CSW of 34 percent. Now 2-7 on the season, he’ll carry a 3.94 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 71/26 K/BB ratio (84 innings) into Thursday’s showdown against the Brewers in Milwaukee.

Bibee put together his best start of the season on Saturday, holding the Rangers scoreless over eight innings. He scattered three hits and two walks, tossing an efficient 54 of 87 pitches for strikes. He struck out three. The 27-year-old right-hander knocks a half run from his ERA, coming into the day with a 4.57 mark and ending with a 4.09 with a 1.23 WHIP and a 63/24 K/BB ratio across 77 innings. He’ll look to keep it going against the Tigers in Cleveland on Friday.

Bibee struck out five and walked one. He allowed an early homer to Jarren Duran but made it through six efficiently, finishing at 90 pitches. The 27-year-old hasn’t matched the sub-3 ERA he showed as a rookie in 2023, but his peripherals are mostly consistent year-to-year. A high HR/9 rate is hurting him this season. He’ll visit the Rangers’ pitching-friendly home park in his next start.

This one wasn’t pretty. Bibee got off to a rocky start, serving up first-inning homers to James Wood and Curtis Mead. Things went further downhill from there as Jacob Young, Luis García Jr. and CJ Abrams also took him deep over the next two frames. Amazingly, both times he’s allowed more than four runs this season came against NL East opponents in the Nationals and Braves. The five home runs allowed were a career high for Bibee. The odds of him rebounding are high with a favorable home matchup against the Red Sox on tap to finish off a two-start week on Sunday.

Bibee carried a shutout into the seventh inning before Detroit pulled ahead of a sacrifice fly from Matt Vierling following a leadoff walk by Kevin McGonigle and a single from Riley Greene. He finished with four strikeouts and allowed just five baserunners, needing 104 pitches (67 strikes) to navigate eight frames in his longest outing of the year. He’s been relatively consistent this season, allowing three earned runs or fewer in nine of his 11 starts so far. He’ll face the Nationals on Monday in his next outing to kick off a two-start week.

Bibee’s fastballs are just getting pulverized right now. Six of his ten hard-hit balls allowed were on his four-seamer or sinker, and his hard-hit rate has spiked from 36.6 percent in 2025 to 46.2 percent this year. He’s got enough guile to pitch decently for the Guardians, but the trends here have him feeling hard to start in shallow leagues. He’ll be a 15-team stream option against the Kerry Carpenter-less Tigers next week.

Bibee gave up a leadoff homer to Byron Buxton in the first and then no more hits the rest of the way. It’s probably not a coincidence that Bibee’s best effort of the year came the very first time that he got to work with Austin Hedges (Bo Naylor caught him seven times and David Fry did so once). Now that he’ll presumably be paired with Patrick Bailey most of the time, his value could get a significant boost. He’s due to face the Reds at home next Friday.

Bibee faced just one over the minimum through three, but the fourth started with a Bobby Witt Jr. homer and just kept going from there. The Royals managed four more hits, two of them on grounders. One of those skidded off the second base bag and went right between the legs of Travis Bazzana. Bibee was then pulled before the start of the fifth. He struck out four tonight and had a 31 percent CSW. He just couldn’t stop the bleeding when he needed to. He’ll take a 4.58 ERA into his start against the Twins this weekend.

Bibee finished with six strikeouts and handed out three free passes. He gave up only four hits with a fifth-inning single by Jonathan Aranda representing the lone tally against him. Unfortunately, he got zero run support and was saddled with a tough-luck loss. He’ll bring a pedestrian 4.08 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 32/14 K/BB ratio across 35 1/3 innings over seven starts into a road tilt against the division-rival Royals on Monday to open a two-start week.

The Astros opened the top of the first with a Carlos Correa double and a Yordan Alvarez homer for what turned out to be the only runs in a 2-0 game. Bibee fell to 0-3, with the Guardians having scored a total of two runs in his losses. His ERA stands at 4.45, though eight of his 15 runs allowed came in one outing. He’ll pitch at home against the Rays next time out.
