MAY 18, 2025 • MLB.COM
Nursing sore hand Simpson (face) had his right hand wrapped up due to soreness and is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Impact The 24-year-old had some facial injuries after making a hard slide into home plate Saturday, but his hand now appears to be more of an issue as he had a bit of trouble gripping a bat Sunday. Manager Kevin Cash indicated Simpson could still be available in an emergency for Sunday's contest, so the hand injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern.

Leaves early with injury Simpson was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays with an apparent injury.
Impact Simpson looked to be in a considerable amount of pain after being tagged out at the plate in the ninth inning. After being tended to by the Rays' trainers, he was able to walk off the field under his own power. It's not immediately clear what kind of injury he's dealing with, but the team should offer more information relatively soon.

Two doubles Sunday Simpson went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored Sunday against the Brewers.
Impact After a hot start to his big-league career, Simpson has slowed considerably across his last 10 contests. Even with Sunday's two-hit performance, he is hitting only .212 in that span with two RBI, five runs scored -- albeit with four stolen bases. Simpson also remains the Rays' primary leadoff hitter and has started 17 of 20 games since being promoted.

Not in Rays' lineup Simpson is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Phillies, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Impact Tough southpaw Jesus Luzardo is on the bump for the Phillies, so the Rays will give the left-handed-hitting Simpson a breather. They are starting fellow left-handed-swinging Kameron Misner in center field for the series finale.
