Racking up stolen bases Simpson went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base Sunday against the Blue Jays.
Impact Simpson was out of the lineup for three straight games due to injuries to his hand and face to begin the week, but that hasn't deterred him from being aggressive on the basepaths. After Sunday's performance, he has at least one stolen base in six of his last eight games. Simpson has seven total steals in that span, bringing his total to 14 across 31 games.

Swipes bag in return Simpson went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base Wednesday against the Astros.
Impact Simpson was out of the lineup for the previous three days due to a combination of injuries to his hand and face. He singled in the first inning to deliver his 10th RBI of the season. Simpson later stole his 12th bag of the campaign and is now has a .281 average (16-for-57) in May.

Swipes bag in return Simpson went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base Wednesday against the Astros.
Impact Simpson was out of the lineup for the last three days due to a combination of injuries to his hand and face. He singled in the first inning to deliver his 10th RBI of the season. Simpson later stole his 12th bag of the campaign and is now 16-for-57 at the plate in the May.

Back in starting nine Wednesday Simpson (hand/face) will start in left field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Astros, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Impact Simpson will be back in the lineup for the first time since Saturday, when he exited early in the Rays' 4-0 win over the Marlins due to a sore hand and some facial injuries. He wasn't available for the series finale versus Miami on Sunday, but Simpson was deployed off the bench in both of the first two games against Houston and contributed a pair of stolen bases Monday. His absences from the lineup Monday and Tuesday likely had more to do with the Astros sending lefties to the hill, but the left-handed-hitting Simpson will pick up a start Wednesday against Houston right-hander Hunter Brown.

Two stolen bases off bench Simpson (hand) had two stolen bases as a pinch runner and defensive replacement in Monday's loss to Houston. He reached base on catcher's interference in his lone plate appearance.
Impact Simpson suffered hand and facial injuries after making a hard slide into home plate Saturday. He didn't play in Sunday's game. He was out of the starting lineup Monday, but that was more likely due to a left-handed pitcher starting the game. It looks like he's back to full speed after Monday's game.

Out again Monday Simpson (hand) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.
Impact Simpson is dealing with right hand soreness and some facial injuries as a result of a hard slide into home plate during Saturday's contest versus the Marlins. He will miss a second straight start Monday, although it's possible the left-handed hitter wouldn't have started, anyway, with the Astros sending southpaw Colton Gordon to the bump. It's not clear whether Simpson will be available off the bench. Christopher Morel is in left field and batting third for the Rays on Monday.

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.

It's not immediately clear what kind of injury he's dealing with, but the team should offer more information relatively soon.
