Pearson (elbow) is being activated prior to Thursday's game against the Yankees, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays are hoping to get Pearson a clean inning for his first career relief outing. He will not make any more starts this season, but it is nonetheless encouraging that he will hopefully enter the offseason having returned to game action and with a clean bill of health.
