Pearce (calf) is expected to come off the 10-day disabled list at some point during the upcoming weekend, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Up until Tuesday, Pearce wasn't initially certain to take on regular at-bats when he returned from the disabled list, but that seems to be a greater likelihood after Ezequiel Carrera, who had been serving as the primary left fielder, suffered a fractured foot and was placed on the 10-day DL on Wednesday. The Blue Jays recalled Dwight Smith in a corresponding move to shore up the outfield depth, but Pearce's superior big-league track record should give him the edge in the playing-time battle once he's activated. Pearce moved his rehab to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday and played his fifth game of the assignment, going 1-for-4 with a run scored.
