Pearson (elbow) threw 25 pitches in a live batting practice session Monday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson made just four starts, posting an unimpressive 6.61 ERA,1.53 WHIP and 14:12 K:BB, before being sidelined with a flexor strain in mid-August. He won't have time to build back up to a starter's workload this season, but there's a chance he returns as a reliever for the final few days of the regular season and playoffs. The Blue Jays should have a clearer picture of when he'll return once they know how his arm responded to Monday's session.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old completed his first live BP last week and will take the mound again Monday. According to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca, Pearson is expected to cover one-to-two innings per outing out of the bullpen once he's activated, which could come later this week if Monday's session goes well.

Pearson (elbow) threw a successful live batting practice session Wednesday but will remain at the alternate training site for now, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The next step in the 24-year-old's rehab remains unclear. Manager Charlie Montoyo said Pearson won't return to the rotation down the stretch, but the team is trying to build him up as much as possible as he returns from the right flexor strain.

Pearson (elbow) will throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson has been sidelined since Aug. 18 with a strained right elbow, but his live batting practice session could be one of his final tests before returning to action. The right-hander is expected to pitch in shorter stints out of the bullpen once he returns, so he shouldn't require much more time.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Sunday he expects Pearson (elbow) to throw a live batting practice session at some point this week, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie right-hander will either accompany the Blue Jays on their road trip to New York to face hitters or stay behind at the team's alternate training site to move on to the next phase of his rehab. Montoyo has already indicated that the Blue Jays intend to bring Pearson back as a reliever, so he won't require as long of a period of time to get his arm conditioned for game action. Pearson has been sidelined since Aug. 18 with a strained right elbow.

Pearson (elbow) continues progressing and could have a shot to return as a reliever down the stretch, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson made just four starts before suffering a flexor strain in mid-August. He doesn't have time to build up to a starter's workload before the end of the year, but the Blue Jays are keeping the door open for him as a reliever. It's not guaranteed he'll have time to do so, as the Blue Jays won't want to push things with their prized prospect, but he continues to throw and remains in contention to return at some point.

Pearson (elbow) threw off a mound Saturday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson had been limited to throwing on flat ground, recently extending out to 120 feet. He's now cleared a major hurdle with his return to mound work, and pitching coach Pete Walker said Pearson looked "very strong" during the 26-pitch session, per Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic. The Blue Jays would obviously like to get Pearson back in some capacity this season; the righty may be hard pressed to make it back in a starting role before the end of September.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson suffered a right flexor strain in mid-August, though he was able to resume throwing within 10 days of being shut down. While he continues to make good progress, he's yet to throw off a mound, so his return doesn't appear to be imminent.

Pearson (elbow) was throwing up to 90 feet Saturday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson played catch Friday for the first time from 60 feet and has now already upped the throwing distance to 90. There is no current outlook for a return, but it's not out of the discussion for the young right-hander to be activated before the regular season concludes.

Pearson (elbow) played catch from 60 feet Friday, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old received good news earlier this week when he was diagnosed with a right flexor strain, and playing catch Friday is his first time throwing since landing on the injured list Aug. 19. Pearson is unlikely to be retaking the field anytime soon, but he may be able to return for the closing stretch of the season if all goes well as rebuilds the strength in his arm.
