Toronto Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo confirmed a report after Monday's game that their top pitching prospect Nate Pearson will start Wednesday's game versus the Nationals. That day marks the service time deadline, so the Jays will gain an extra year of control over the right-hander after he's brought up. Wednesday was also supposed to be the Jays home opener, but they will instead act as the home team and play in Nationals Park. Pearson is MLB's second-ranked right-handed pitching ...

The MLB season is finally underway, and a lot of what fantasy owners "knew" before the first pitch has already fallen apart. Juan Soto has tested positive for COVID-19, leaving both the Nationals and a lot of fantasy rosters without a superstar talent for the foreseeable future. Clayton Kershaw was scratched from his Opening Day start, while both Gerrit Cole and Max Scherzer were credited with rain-aided complete games while Mike Soroka started his season with a QS. So much for pitchers not ...

The Toronto Blue Jays have optioned starting pitchers Nate Pearson and Ryan Borucki to their taxi squad ahead of Thursdays roster cutoff. Pearson will likely be called up after the 29th, so the Jays gain an extra year of team control, and hell presumably join the starting rotation during its second time through. Boruckis option was a bit of a surprise, but he did miss most of last season due to injury and could use a little more seasoning.

According to a source, the Toronto Blue Jays are expected to activate starting pitcher Nate Pearson on July 29, which will mean they gain an extra year of team control. Its a wise move since hell only miss one turn through the rotation, and he could use a little more conditioning after struggling in an exhibition start versus the Red Sox on Tuesday. Pearson holds significant dynasty appeal, but his redraft value is limited in the shortened season.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Nate Pearson got a starting rotation audition on Tuesday in an exhibition start versus the Red Sox, but early struggles hurt the youngster. After recording two outs and allowing four runs in the first inning, Pearson was bailed out of the frame on a pitch count that the team had set in place. He did settle down over the next three scoreless innings, finishing with five strikeouts while allowing five hits and two walks. The last spot in the Jays rotation is up ...

The Toronto Blue Jays have a young core of position players that could make them competitive in the shortened 60-game season, and starting pitcher Nate Pearson, MLB's eighth-ranked prospect, could be the X-factor. The 6-foot-6 23-year-old right-hander had a 2.30 ERA with 119 K's and 27 walks in 101 2/3 minor league innings in 2019. Pearson is a flamethrowing power pitcher that brings strikeout upside to a starting rotation that mostly lacks it in Hyun-Jin Ryu, Matt Shoemaker, Tanner Roark ...

Toronto Blue Jays top pitching prospect Nate Pearson has officially made the teams initial 60-man player pool for the shortened 2020 season. The flamethrowing right-hander was opening eyes during spring training in March with his swing-and-miss ability, but was still destined for some more fine-tuning in the minors before the suspension of the regular season. There may not be enough time in the shortened campaign for Pearson to make a major impact in redraft leagues, but he could serve as an ...

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Nate Pearson dazzled in his second spring outing on Sunday, firing two perfect frames against all projected Pirates starters. He hit 100 MPH with his fastball on multiple occasions as he made relatively short work of his opponents, striking out a pair in the 20-pitch effort. Pearson won't break camp with the big-league club, but will surely make his presence in the majors at some point this season. The right-hander makes one of the more intriguing pitching ...

Toronto Blue Jays starter Nate Pearson flashed his potential big-league promise in his first taste of Grapefruit League action against the Yankees on Tuesday. He struck out all three batters he faced in an impressive 12-pitch frame, including one looking and two via the whiff.

He'll likely join the club at some point this ...
