Nate Pearson News
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Nate Pearson (sports hernia) is being evaluated by the team this week. He is dealing with a sports hernia and there is a chance he will require a procedure soon. The 25-year-old had been dealing with the injury late in the season, but he pitched through it. He only managed to appear in 12 games for the Blue Jays this year, primarily pitching out of the bullpen. He had a 4.20 ERA and a 1.73 WHIP on the season. He could be a candidate for the back-end of the team's rotation next year, but he'll need a strong offseason to secure a spot there.
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Nate Pearson (sports hernia) recently completed a simulated game and is progressing in his recovery from a sports hernia. He's been sidelined since mid-June and is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo soon. Pearson is building up as a reliever and could return to the big leagues sometime in August. The 24-year-old will provide the Blue Jays bullpen depth, but fantasy managers can leave Pearson on the waiver wire in redraft leagues. The Blue Jays top prospect is aiming to earn a rotation spot in 2022.
Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said that right-hander Nate Pearson's (hernia) injury issues have been related to a sports hernia. Pearson will pitch in relief the rest of the year and is scheduled to get back on a mound next week. Atkins says the plan is to get Pearson back into the rotation next season to continue his development as a starter. The hard-throwing 24-year-old could become a relief option for Toronto in the near future, but he probably can be left to the waiver wire in redraft leagues the rest of the way. Pearson made just one start this year before landing on the injury list, allowing three earned runs on four hits while walking five and striking out none in 2 1/3 innings. His high-end strikeout upside makes him worthy of stashing in all dynasty/keeper leagues.

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.
