Pearson (illness) was removed from Sunday's rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo due to an apparent injury, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was Pearson's fifth rehab outing after a bout of mononucleosis in the spring delayed his availability, but he threw only two pitches Sunday before leaving the field with the training staff. The right-hander's career has been marred by injuries, and he's now potentially dealing with another issue, which could further push back his return timeline.

Pearson (illness) made another rehab appearance at Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson allowed a run on two hits and no walks while striking out four in two relief innings during Tuesday's outing. Manager Charlie Montoyo was pleased with the 25-year-old's results, as he reached 98-99 mph while tossing two innings for a third consecutive outing. Montoyo is hopeful that Pearson will be able to build up to three innings at some point and have less recovery time between his rehab appearances. The right-hander isn't guaranteed a spot on the major-league roster once he's deemed fully healthy, but the team views him as a multi-inning relief option.

Pearson (illness) will pitch at Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson's rehab assignment shifted to the Triple-A level Thursday, and he allowed a run while striking out two in two relief innings. He was moved to the 60-day injured list Monday but is eligible to rejoin the Blue Jays as soon as the team deems him fully healthy.

Pearson (illness) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction has no bearing on Pearson's return timeline, as he's been out since the start of the season after a bout of mononucleosis interrupted his spring training and is already eligible to return from any injured list. He's made a pair of rehab appearances but may need a handful more before he's activated from the injured list.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Tuesday that Pearson (illness) will shift his rehab assignment from Single-A Dunedin to Triple-A Buffalo, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson will move up to the Jays' top affiliate after he struck out a batter and allowed one run on one hit and one walk over 1.2 innings in his lone rehab outing for Dunedin. Montoyo noted that he envisions Pearson serving as a multi-inning relief option upon his return from the 10-day injured list, though the 25-year-old right-hander will have to earn his spot with the big club by performing well in Buffalo during his assignment. Pearson has two minor-league options remaining, so the Blue Jays could choose to keep him at Triple-A if there's not a spot for him in the big-league bullpen once his rehab window ends.

Pearson (illness) threw 30 pitches in a rehab appearance with Single-A Dunedin on Thursday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson completed 1.2 innings and allowed one earned run on one hit and a walk while striking out one. He sat at 95 mph with his fastball and hit 97, which is down from the last two seasons. That's not a major reason for concern yet, as Pearson is ramping up after being sidelined for the entire season by mononucleosis. It's unclear how many more rehab appearances he may need, as he is projected to fill a long-relief role once activated.

Pearson (illness) could begin a rehab assignment soon, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson has been going through a full ramp-up program after being sidelined with mononucleosis during spring training. He pitched in an extended spring training game this week and continues to make progress towards returning in a bulk role.

Pearson (illness) completed a 28-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays noted that Pearson's fastball touched 96 miles per hour in the throwing session, only a couple ticks below his average velocity over his 12 appearances in the majors in 2021. Assuming Pearson felt fine physically following the side session, he should advance to facing hitters in live batting practice or in a simulated game later this week at the Blue Jays' extended spring training facility in Dunedin, Fla.

Pearson (illness) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday at the Blue Jays' spring training complex, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Toronto has been building up Pearson slowly since he overcame a bout with mononucleosis in mid-April, as he has yet to advance to facing hitters despite having dealt with no setbacks in his throwing program over the past month. Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca suggests that if Pearson's bullpen session goes well, he'll finally be cleared to throw live batting practice later this week. After that, Pearson could head out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Pearson (illness) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session in Dunedin on Friday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson threw 26 pitches Tuesday, and he's scheduled for another throwing session at the Blue Jays' extended spring training site to close out the week. The right-hander was diagnosed with mononucleosis in early April but has made good progress since then. However, he'll still need to build up his pitch count before presumably beginning a rehab assignment in the lower minors.
