The Blue Jays have optioned Nate Pearson to Triple-A Buffalo.
Fantasy Impact
Pearson is the odd man out of the Jays’ bullpen with the activation of Jordan Romano and Erik Swanson from the injured list. The 27-year-old has pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings this season, so fantasy managers should expect him to return to the Jays’ bullpen at some point this season.
Nate Pearson is reportedly working on a new splitter in camp with the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker called it a "work in progress" for Pearson. He bounced back-and-forth between Triple-A and the MLB last year, and he'll compete for a spot in the bullpen on the Opening Day roster out of camp.
Blue Jays pitcher Nate Pearson has been recalled from Triple-A and will be active for Friday's series opener against the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact
Once the club's top prospect, Pearson has had trouble finding his footing in the big leagues between injuries and underperformance. The right-hander sports a career 5.18 ERA between 50 appearances (five starts), including an identical 5.18 ERA across 33 appearances with the big club this season.
Nate Pearson is on his way to join the big league club in Toronto, per sources.
Fantasy Impact
After missing all of last season with a right lat strain, Pearson has been operating out of the bullpen in Triple-A to begin the 2023 campaign. In 8 1/3 innings pitched, the 26-year-old has allowed two earned runs and struck out 16 batters. When the prized prospect joins the Blue Jays, he will probably be eased into his role and handle some of the middle relief innings while Jordan Romano remains the closer. However, Pearson's role will be an intriguing one to watch over the course of the season if he can stay healthy.
