<p>Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said that Pearce will be out of the lineup for the next few days while battling a mild left calf strain, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.</p>
<h2>Analysis:</h2>
<p>Gibbons suggested that Pearce's calf issue was mostly a byproduct of dehydration rather than something more concerning, but the Blue Jays will still take things slowly with the 34-year-old, who was also slowed by a calf injury for a spell last season. Assuming Pearce incurs no major setbacks before Opening Day arrives, he projects to fill a short-side platoon role in the Toronto outfield.</p>
