There hasn’t been a lot of news on Steve Pearce‘s progress lately, but fortunately the silence was broken with some good news on Thursday. Pearce is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with the AA New Hampshire Fisher Cats, who are at home for the next four days, prior to an upcoming road trip.
Pearce is scheduled to hit third in the lineup tonight, and is slated to be the DH. Pearce has mostly played left field with the Blue Jays this season, but also has experience at first and second base.
The 34 year old was signed to a 2 year, 12.
