Pearce's rehab game Sunday for High-A Charlotte apparently went well, as he will be rejoining the Rays slightly ahead of schedule. He has been one of the club's few bright spots this year, with a brilliant .322/.393/.540 line in 51 games.

Pearce (hamstring) is scheduled to play first base in a rehab game Sunday with High-A Charlotte, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearce had been fielding grounders at first base just days earlier, and the Rays apparently felt comfortable enough with where he was in his recovery to have him test out his hamstring in game action. If all goes well Sunday, he could move his rehab assignment to the Double-A or Triple-A level in the coming days and perhaps rejoin the Rays later next week.

EDGE Analysis

Pearce has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since June 21 but has reportedly been feeling "great" and is back to doing high activity drills at first base.

The expectation was that Pearce would need at least three weeks to rehab his left hamstring injury. It sounds like he's progressing well and should be available for most of the second half of the season, barring any setbacks as he completes his recovery. With Logan Forsythe back at second base for Tampa Bay, Pearce may be relegated to a platoon role at first base upon activation.

EDGE Analysis

Pearce was placed on the 15-day DL earlier Tuesday, and the club is now sending him back to Tampa to undergo an MRI. The results will likely determine the severity of the ailment and the next steps in his recovery so a clearer timetable should become available then, but for now, it appears as though Pearce will likely be out until after the All-Star break.

EDGE Analysis

Pearce had to be helped off the field in the ninth inning of Monday's tilt, and though the exact nature of the ailment remains unclear, it's apparently serious enough to force him out for at least two weeks. Despite going 0-for-12 over the last three games, the 33-year-old had been on a tear in June, slashing .380/.404/.560 on the month. He's currently without a precise timetable, but Jaff Decker and Taylor Motter appear to be in line to see increased playing time for however long Pearce remains sidelined.

EDGE Analysis

Pearce was removed early from Monday's game after experiencing discomfort in his hamstring, and given that the Rays have not ruled out the possibility of a DL stint, it's not all too surprising that he'll be held out Tuesday. Jaff Decker and Taylor Motter -- both of whom are drawing into Tuesday's lineup -- figure to see more playing time in Pearce's absence.

EDGE Analysis

Pearce left Monday's game in the ninth inning holding his right leg. The Rays will likely wait a couple of days before putting him the disabled list, a move that would sideline their hottest hitter. Should Pearce be forced to miss an extended amount of time, Brandon Guyer could see more opportunities at the DH spot.

Pearce went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old extended his blazing-hot month of June, which has seen him slash .514/.541/.771 over 35 at-bats. The three-hit day represented Pearce's fifth multi-hit effort over the last eight games, and brought his average to a new season high of .346. That figure also represents a significant 42-point improvement since June 2, as the veteran continues to put together the best all-around season of his career.
