Pearson, 24, struggled in his first start of the season on Sunday as the Blue Jays dropped a 7-4 decision to Houston. He allowed five walks, four hits and three earned runs over 2 1/3 innings.
Pearson entered the season as the eighth-ranked prospect by Major League Baseball. He made five appearances, including four starts, last year.
The six-foot-six 250-pound right-hander started this season on the injured list with a right adductor strain.
Beasley was acquired from Arizona last month for cash considerations. The 25-year-old made one relief appearance with the Diamondbacks last season.
