Pearce has logged just six starts and 27 at-bats since June 13 through Thursday. Pearce opened the season as a regular, logging time at first base and in the outfield before filling in some at second base. He is slashing .232/.398/.390 on the season, a far cry from his .293/.373/.556 slashes just a year ago. Pearce has lost virtually all his playing time to Jimmy Paredes and Chris Parmelee. Pearce needs to perform better in order to regain playing time, but there is little opportunity to prove himself at this point in time.
