Nate Pearson News
Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Nate Pearson has been recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday. The hard-throwing 26-year-old has been on and off the major league roster this season, pitching to a subpar 5.31 ERA, 1.205 WHIP, and 39:15 K/BB ratio over 39 innings (32 relief appearances). He's flashed some of the stuff that once made him a top prospect but he still has a ways to go and there's no fantasy appeal due to his low-leverage position in the Blue Jays bullpen. Relief pitcher Hagen Danner (oblique) has been placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.
The Blue Jays recalled relief pitcher Nate Pearson ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Angels. Closer Jordan Romano (back) was placed on the 15-day injured list, so the team made a move to fill the void in the bullpen. The 26-year-old owns a 4.75 ERA with 36 strikeouts this season. Although Pearson could get some chances to close out games while Romano is out, he's not someone fantasy managers can depend on.
Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Nate Pearson was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday following his poor performance during Saturday's loss to the Seattle Mariners. Pearson was roughed up by the M's in Saturday's appearance, allowing four runs while only getting one out, taking the loss. The 26-year-old hurler has flashed some elite stuff at times this season, and the future is bright, but Toronto needed to make room for the recently-acquired Genesis Cabrera on their roster. Pearson owns a 4.75 ERA, 1.167 WHIP, and 36:11 K/BB ratio over 36 innings (29 appearances) on the year. He'll be back in Toronto's bullpen soon enough.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Nate Pearson made his major league debut in 2020 with mixed results. The top prospect in the Blue Jays organization, Pearson pitched 18 innings over five appearances and posted a 19.8 percent strikeout rate and 16 percent walk rate to go along with a 6.00 ERA, 7.19 FIP, 6.04 xFIP and 5.95 SIERA. Now this all took place in a small sample size, but the strikeout and walk rates were a significant step down from his career 31.1 percent strikeout rate and 6.8 percent walk rate in the minors. On top of that, there's a question of how Pearson can hold up over a full season of work, as his 101.2 innings pitched in 2019 marks the only time in his four-year professional career that he has thrown more than 20 innings in a season. Right now, Pearson is projected to be in the Toronto rotation to open the season and he's being drafted as a late round flyer. The potential is there for Pearson to be a solid fantasy pitcher, but he might not reach that potential for another year. Hang on to him in dynasty leagues, but in redraft leagues managers should probably wait and grab him off the waiver-wire later in the season.
