Nate Pearson News
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Nate Pearson (shoulder) will miss his next start with Triple-A Buffalo due to a mild shoulder impingement, according to Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun. After getting rocked in his start on Sunday against the Astros, Pearson was optioned to Triple-A on Tuesday, and now with the injury and scratched start it's worth wondering if maybe the shoulder issue affected his performance on Sunday. Pearson is the top pitching prospect in Toronto's system, and managers will hope that when he's healthy he can show the high strikeout potential that he has displayed in the minors.
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Nate Pearson made his first start of the 2021 season versus the Astros on Sunday, but the results were far from spectacular. He surrendered three runs on four hits and five walks in just 2 1/3 innings without striking out a batter. Pearson threw just 28 of his 64 pitches for strikes, but there will undoubtedly be better days ahead for the team's top pitching prospect. The right-hander is still getting stretched out after suffering a groin injury in spring training, so he remains a stash in deeper leagues for now. He's scheduled to face the Phillies in Dunedin next, providing he stays in the big-league rotation.
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Nate Pearson (groin) was activated from the injured list on Thursday and optioned to the team's alternate site, according to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. Pearson suffered an adductor strain early in Spring Training, that has kept him sidelined until now. He had only pitched one inning this spring, allowing one unearned run on one hit and one walk while striking out two. The top pitching prospect in Toronto's system, Pearson will look to continue to build up his workload at the alternate site before any potential call up to the team. Until he joins Toronto, Pearson should only be targeted in deeper leagues or if managers have a deep bench to stash him on.

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.
