Cleveland Guardians right-hander Shane Bieber won't be able to throw for two weeks because of an inflamed right elbow but apparently won't require surgery.

"It definitely looks like it's a non-surgical way to go, which is really good," manager Terry Francona said Sunday. "Any time you go into somebody's arm, and have thrown as much as he has, you get nervous.

"He's going to be approximately two weeks no throw. He'll be rechecked every week," Francona added. "There's no timetable beyond that."
