2 years agoToronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Nate Pearson was diagnosed with a lat strain and his timetable has not yet been determined. Sigh. This is yet another injury for the former top prospect and one that will keep him out of the big leagues for a while longer. Pearson will need at least a few weeks to recover, and that is if the strain is very minimal. Knowing his history, it is likely that the Jays give Pearson extra time to recover. Once a coveted dynasty league player, Pearson's stock is dropping with each injury. The Jays had already begun looking at him in a bullpen role, and this injury might reaffirm that position.--Matt Garon - RotoBaller
