Pearson (groin) is slated to make his third rehab outing with Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson tossed a perfect inning in both of his first two outings with Buffalo, and he's set to make at least one more appearance before potentially joining the Blue Jays' bullpen. If Sunday does indeed mark Pearson's final rehab outing, he could join Toronto at some point during the upcoming four-game series against the White Sox.

Pearson (groin) will start for Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The righty isn't expected to have a long outing as he prepares to join Toronto's bullpen in the near future. In recent simulated games, Pearson has sat high-90's with his fastball, a sign that he's feeling good and may not need a ton of rehab work. The date of his next appearance should become clear after he recovers from Saturday's game.

Pearson (groin/illness) was delayed by a non-COVID illness but should join Triple-A Buffalo for rehab work by the end of the week, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The illness appears to be nothing more than a minor obstacle in the oft-injured righty's road back to Toronto. It's unclear how much work Pearson will require in Buffalo, but considering he'll be a reliever for the rest of the season, he won't need to build up for long outings. More details about his timeline should become clear later in the week when he joins the Triple-A squad.

Pearson (groin) recently completed a simulated game and is scheduled for an outing in the Florida Complex League, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson is building up as a reliever while he makes his return from the sports hernia that's sidelined him since mid-June. After throwing in Florida, the 24-year-old could be ticketed for a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo before rejoining the Blue Jays.

Pearson (groin) has begun to build back up after being diagnosed with a sports hernia but will do so as a reliever, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson received plenty of hype heading into last season but has thus far failed to establish himself thanks to a long list of injuries. He appears to be finally turning a corner with his last issue, however, with the Blue Jays expressing relief that he wasn't diagnosed with anything worse. He's on track to throw live batting practice next week. Pearson won't have time to build up to a starter's workload by the end of the year, but he certainly has the stuff to help the team in a relief role. Of course, that'll limit his fantasy utility outside of leagues that count holds.

GM Ross Atkins said Wednesday that Pearson is away from the team this week to receive another medical opinion in his injured right groin, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Team president Mark Shapiro made a similar announcement last week, which makes it at least the fifth medical opinion the right-hander has received for the injury. The specifics of the injury have apparently been difficult to pin down after it was initially labeled a Grade 1 strain, and there's some concern Pearson is dealing with an underlying issue that's leading to the recurring problems. The 24-year-old's availability going forward is firmly up in the air, though the team is "determined" to find a path toward him pitching again this season.

Blue Jays team president Mark Shapiro said Thursday that Pearson will soon receive a fourth medical opinion on his strained right groin, Arash Mardani of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The multiple medical opinions would seemingly suggest the Blue Jays have a high degree of concern about Pearson's injury, which is an aggravation of the same groin he strained back in spring training. The previous injury was a Grade 1 strain, but Pearson could be dealing with a moderate or more severe strain this time around. Expect the Blue Jays to provide a formal update on Pearson along with a potential recovery timeline once the organization is satisfied with the medical evaluations it has received.

Pearson has been placed on the 7-day injured list with a right groin strain, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury comes at a bad time for the big righty, who had strung together consecutive strong outings at Triple-A, allowing two runs in 11 innings between the two starts. There's been no indication yet as to how long Pearson might be sidelined by the groin strain.

Pearson (shoulder) is listed as Triple-A Buffalo's scheduled starting pitcher for Friday's game against Worcester.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson was scratched ahead of his most recent outing over the weekend due to right shoulder inflammation, but Buffalo didn't deem the injury serious enough to place him on the 7-day injured list. Assuming he experiences no setbacks while throwing in the next day or two, Pearson won't miss any further turns through the rotation. The Blue Jays will likely want to see Pearson find some sustained success at Triple-A before a promotion to the big-league rotation is revisited.

Pearson will miss his next Triple-A start due to a mild right shoulder impingement, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson still has considerable potential, but a constant stream of injuries has thus far prevented him from establishing himself at the big-league level. He was expected to spend most of last year in the majors but was limited by a flexor strain to just 18 largely unimpressive innings. This year, it was a groin injury which kept him out for the first month of the year before he failed to get out of the third inning in his season debut. He was demoted to Triple-A following that outing and is now dealing with yet another injury. He's still been able to throw long toss, so this particular issue may not wind up being a major one, but it's a quickly becoming a worrying pattern for the young righty. He'll have to get healthy again and will likely need to make a handful of good Triple-A starts before returning to the big leagues.
