Houston has inked right-hander Nate Pearson to a one-year, $1.35MM deal, reported Chandler Rome of The Athletic. Pearson is expected to work as a starter for the Astros.
It’s a major-league deal for Pearson, who will get the opportunity to pitch out of the rotation for the first time since his brief MLB debut in 2020. The hard-throwing righty made four starts as a rookie with Toronto. He’s made 118 appearances over the past five seasons, and all but two have been out of the bullpen. Pearson spent the last season and a half with the Cubs. He came to Chicago in 2024 via a midseason trade from Toronto.
