Blue Jays Recall Pearson from Triple-A Buffalo

Latest News and Updates

In a move to bolster their starting rotation, the Toronto Blue Jays have recalled right-handed pitcher Nate Pearson from Triple-A Buffalo. Pearson, a top prospect, was optioned to the minors on July 1st after struggling with his command.

Pearson's Stats and Performance

In 10 starts for Buffalo, Pearson posted a 4.50 ERA with 57 strikeouts in 50 innings pitched. He also issued 25 walks, leading to some concerns about his control. However, the Blue Jays are hoping that Pearson can rediscover his form at the major league level.

Pearson has a career ERA of 4.82 in 53 innings pitched in the majors. He made his MLB debut in 2019 and has shown flashes of brilliance, but has also struggled with consistency.

Impact on the Blue Jays Rotation

Pearson's recall is expected to shake up the Blue Jays' starting rotation. He could potentially take the spot of Hyun Jin Ryu, who has been dealing with forearm tightness. Alternatively, Pearson could be used as a long reliever out of the bullpen.

The Blue Jays are currently in a tight race for a wild-card spot in the American League. Pearson's return to the majors could give them a much-needed boost as they look to secure a playoff berth.
