The Cubs released Pearson on Sunday.
Analysis
No teams were willing to put in a waiver claim for the right-hander after Chicago designated him for assignment Saturday, and the Cubs will now allow Pearson to get a head start on finding a new destination heading into 2026. Prior to losing his roster spot, Pearson made 11 appearances out of the Chicago bullpen and posted a 9.20 ERA and 2.18 WHIP while issuing 10 walks over 14.2 innings.
