Pearson will be promoted to the Blue Jays' active roster July 29, Jamie Campbell of Sportsnet reports.
This isn't too surprising, since keeping Pearson down for the first week of the season gives the Blue Jays an additional year of control over the right-hander. Regardless of Pearson's role following his promotion, he figures to pitch a healthy amount of competitive innings during the abbreviated 2020 campaign so he can ideally eclipse 100 innings in 2021.
