2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Pearson didn't pitch in the majors last season and was limited to just 15.1 innings in the minors thanks to a lengthy illness and lat strain. The former top prospect was slated to build up as a starter, but his delayed start due to mononucleosis shifted his focus to a bulk relief instead. Once healthy, Pearson was impressive during his rehab assignment, reaching 98-99 mph on the radar gun with 19 strikeouts. Unfortunately, he suffered the lat strain after just 13 appearances and the season was wrapping up by the time the right-hander was healthy enough to return. Pearson recently flashed his upside in the Dominican Winter League, posting 12 scoreless innings with a 16:4 K:BB and 0.75 WHIP. However, he's a perennial health risk and has yet to pitch more than 101.2 innings during any season, so temper your expectations for 2023. Read Past Outlooks

Activated and optioned
The Blue Jays reinstated Pearson (lat) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Since Buffalo's season has already ended, Pearson won't report to the Triple-A affiliate and will instead stick around at the Blue Jays' spring facility in Florida, where he'll likely continue to stay sharp in case Toronto requires an extra bullpen arm during its upcoming postseason run, according to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca. Pearson never made any appearances at the big-league level in 2022 after opening the campaign on the shelf while recovering from mononucleosis before he suffered a lat strain in June during his rehab assignment.

After a flexor strain sidelined him in 2020, a core-muscle injury cost Pearson significant time in 2021, with the hard-throwing righty first experiencing the issue last spring before landing on the injured list again in June. Because of how the injury disrupted his buildup program, Pearson worked almost exclusively as a reliever, coming out of Toronto's bullpen in 11 of his 12 appearances while submitting a 4.20 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in 15 innings. He recently underwent surgery to address the sports hernia, but Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said he should be fine for spring training without any disruptions. Toronto plans to have Pearson stretch back out for a starting role, but he'll still be forced to compete for a spot in the club's Opening Day rotation. He'll have a better shot if he refines his command (6.8 BB/9 for his career) and avoids the injuries that have plagued him the past two seasons.
