Pearce left Sunday's game due to calf tightness, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Pearce incurred the injury during warmups, he was still able to play three innings before being lifted from Sunday's game. At this point in time, Pearce is being considered day-to-day. Toronto will likely be patient and avoid rushing Pearce back onto the field after injuries limited him to just 92 games last season.

Pearce suffered an undisclosed injury during Sunday's spring game, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury appeared to have occurred during warmups as opposed to during a play. Pearce ended up leaving the game prior to the third inning, and was seen limping back to the clubhouse. Given that back pain prematurely ended his season prematurely last year, look for the team to play it safe in getting Pearce back in the lineup.

Pearce (back) is hitting second and playing left field for Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearce was shut down in September last season due to lingering back issues, but he's back to full health after an offseason to rest and recover. The 34-year-old, who hit .252/.319/.438 with 13 homers in 92 games for the Blue Jays last season, looks likely to open the year on the short side of a platoon with Curtis Granderson in left field.

Pearce (back) was shut down for the remainder of the season, Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearce recently admitted that he has been dealing with back pain "for a while." He was slated to travel to Florida to meet with a spine specialist and receive epidural injections Monday. In the first season of a two-year, $12.5 million contract with Toronto, Pearce hit .252/.319/.438 with 13 homers and 37 RBI in 92 games. He projects to open 2018 as one of the club's top options in left field.

Pearce (back) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Pearce will be withheld from the starting lineup for a 16th straight game as he continues to deal with a back injury. It's unclear if he'll return to action before the end of the regular season. Teoscar Hernandez will continue to man left field in Pearce's absence.

Pearce is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

For the 15th straight game, Pearce will be withheld from Toronto's lineup. He hasn't appeared in any capacity in that stretch, which has given Teoscar Hernandez the opportunity to be a regular in the Blue Jays' outfield. Hernandez will hit leadoff and start in left field again Sunday.

Pearce (back) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Pearce hasn't played since Sept. 8, and he'll open on the bench for a 14th straight contest as he continues to deal with a back injury. The Blue Jays haven't provided much information about his status, so it's still unclear when he'll return, if at all. In the meantime, Teoscar Hernandez will continue to start in left field.

Pearce (back) is out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Teoscar Hernandez will hit leadoff and start in left field yet again as Pearce remains out with a back injury. Having missed 13 consecutive games, the Blue Jays haven't given any indication as to when Pearce will be set to return.

Pearce (back) is not in the lineup against Kansas City on Thursday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

This marks the 12th straight game that Pearce will remain out of the starting nine, dating back to Sept. 9. The outfielder hasn't been able to come in and see action off the bench, which gives a clear indication that he isn't ready for action just yet. He remains without a timetable for now, and should be considered day-to-day moving forward, while Teoscar Hernandez draws a start in left for Thursday's affair.

Pearce (back) is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Royals, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays have yet to indicate when Pearce is expected to return, but Wednesday will mark the 11th consecutive game in which he's been omitted from the lineup. Ezequiel Carrera will hit leadoff and start in left field Wednesday night.
