Also Monday, the Blue Jays transferred right-hander Nate Pearson to the 60-day injured list. Pearson, who has yet to pitch for Toronto this season, was added to the IL on April 4 due to mononucleosis.

He started a rehab assignment with single-A Dunedin on May 26 and continued it with Buffalo last Wednesday. He allowed one earned run in a two-inning relief appearance with the Bisons on Thursday.
