EDGE Analysis
A team off day Monday did not improve Pearce's health, so he will sit out Tuesday for the 10th game in a row. It's not clear when he will be ready to return, but he is running out of time to get back before the season ends.

Pearce (back) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.

Pearce (back) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Pearce will miss a sixth straight game while dealing with a stiff back, while Ezequiel Carrera draws a start in left in his absence. The 34-year-old has been out of rhythm at the plate recently -- when he's been in the lineup -- hitting just .122/.157/.184 with only three extra-base hits during his past 12 appearances. There still hasn't been a clear timetable for Pearce's return, but considering he was questionable for Thursday's contest, he could very well be back Friday.

Pearce is questionable for Thursday's game in Minnesota as he continues to battle a stiff back, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The aging outfielder hasn't played since Friday because of the injury, and rookie Teoscar Hernandez continues to handle the bulk of duties in left field. Planning to deploy Pearce in any fantasy lineup is unwise until he's not only fully healed, but regains a rhythm at the plate.
