Astros' Nate Pearson: Inks one-year deal with Astros
The Houston Astros signed Nate Pearson to a one-year, $1.35 million contract Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.Pearson allowed 15 runs with a 7:10 K:BB over 14.2 innings during his time with the Cubs in 2025. He had better luck at Triple-A Iowa, collecting a 2.22 ERA and 57:24 K:BB across 44.2 frames. Pearson has worked almost exclusively as a reliever since 2021, but the Astros are expected to give the former top prospect a chance to be a starting pitcher. The 29-year-old does not have minor-league options remaining, so he'll likely be part of Houston's bullpen if he doesn't crack the Opening Day rotation.

Cubs' Nate Pearson: Set to open Monday's game
Nate Pearson is slated to serve as the Chicago Cubs' opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Phillies, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.Pearson will be making his major-league start since 2021, when he was a member of the Blue Jays. He made the full-time conversion to the bullpen in 2022 and hasn't covered more than two innings in any appearance since being acquired by the Cubs in late July, so Pearson likely won't cover more than the opening frame or two before giving way to the bullpen. Hayden Wesneski, who was activated from the 15-day injured list Friday, is a candidate to be used in bulk relief once Pearson is done for the day.
