TORONTO - The Toronto Blue Jays selected the contract of left-hander Matt Gage from triple-A Buffalo on Monday and optioned right-hander Jeremy Beasley to the Bisons.

Gage was active for Monday night's game at Kansas City. He was 1-2 with a 1.08 earned-run average in 16 appearances for Buffalo this season.

Beasley had a 9.00 ERA in two appearances with Toronto.

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.
