2024 Fantasy Outlook
Pearson saw his most work in a major league season in 2023, throwing 42.2 innings and compiling a 4.85 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and striking out 43 batters. A one time top prospect, Pearson had better success at Triple-A Buffalo pitching 20.2 innings with a 1.74 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 15.15 K/9. Pearson hasn't been able to transition into a high leverage reliever with Toronto just yet, but he did remain healthy for the first time in 2023 throwing a career high in innings. The 27-year-old should break camp as part of the bullpen mix, likely being used in middle relief. Read Past Outlooks

Moves past illness
Pearson (illness) gave up an earned run on one hit and one walk over one inning out of the bullpen in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Rays.
ANALYSIS
Pearson made his first appearance of the second half Tuesday after he had been unavailable out of the bullpen for the Blue Jays' series with the Tigers this past weekend while he was battling an illness. Though the right-hander yielded a run in his return to action, he looked to be at close to full strength while pumping in 13 of his 20 pitches for strikes Tuesday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021

2019
2018
Pearson didn't pitch in the majors last season and was limited to just 15.1 innings in the minors thanks to a lengthy illness and lat strain. The former top prospect was slated to build up as a starter, but his delayed start due to mononucleosis shifted his focus to a bulk relief instead. Once healthy, Pearson was impressive during his rehab assignment, reaching 98-99 mph on the radar gun with 19 strikeouts. Unfortunately, he suffered the lat strain after just 13 appearances and the season was wrapping up by the time the right-hander was healthy enough to return. Pearson recently flashed his upside in the Dominican Winter League, posting 12 scoreless innings with a 16:4 K:BB and 0.75 WHIP. However, he's a perennial health risk and has yet to pitch more than 101.2 innings during any season, so temper your expectations for 2023.

Hoping to start again
Pearson wants to consider returning to a starting role in 2025, reports Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca.
ANALYSIS
The likes of Jordan Hicks, Reynaldo Lopez and Garrett Crochet have made the successful transition from the bullpen to the rotation this season, and Pearson hopes he'll be able to follow a similar path. The 27-year-old righty was one of Toronto's top prospects but has a rough injury history, which resulted in him being shifted to the bullpen the past two seasons. Pearson hasn't exactly excelled in relief this year with a 5.54 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 50:15 K:BB across 37.1 innings, but the encouraging news is he's been able to stay healthy after also doing so in 2023. Two straight healthy campaigns could be enough for the Blue Jays to consider stretching him back out as a starter.
