Nate Pearson to Arizona Fall League
According to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet, the Blue Jays are sending top pitching prospect Nate Pearson to the Arizona Fall League, where he will join his fellow Blue Jays youngsters. Pearson, 22, was injured in May when he was hit by a batted ball that ultimately resulted in a broken bone in his arm.
Last season, the Blue Jays first-round draft pick pitched to a stellar 0.95 ERA in 19.0 innings with the Class-A Vancouver Canadians, striking out 26 while walking just five in eight appearances.
