Chandler Simpson - Page 9 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

Impact With the Rays down 2-1, the rookie speedster replaced Christopher Morel at first base after a leadoff single, and Simpson pilfered both second and third before being driven home by Curtis Mead. It's the first time in 13 big-league games that Simpson has stolen multiple bags, but it likely won't be the last. He's slashing .286/.327/.306 to begin his career with five stolen bases in six attempts.

Last Night in Baseball: Giants walk off Rangers with play you have to see

Delivers three-hit performance Simpson went 3-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and two runs in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Padres.

Impact Though he's produced just one extra-base hit (a double) through his first 33 big-league plate appearances, Simpson has provided a major spark for the Rays since his promotion from Triple-A Durham thanks to his speed, contact skills and ability to get on base. He's now hit safely in each of his first eight MLB games, slashing .400/.455/.433 with five runs, three RBI and three steals. The Tampa Bay outfield will eventually get more crowded when the likes of Jonny DeLuca (shoulder), Josh Lowe (oblique), Jake Mangum (groin) and Richie Palacios (knee) return from the injured list, but if Simpson continues to thrive against big-league pitching, manager Kevin Cash will have a tough time keeping him out of the lineup.

Not starting against lefty Simpson isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Simpson has logged a base hit in all three games he's played in the majors so far while also tacking on two stolen bases. He'll get a chance to catch his breath Wednesday, opening a spot in left field for Christopher Morel to start and bat fourth against southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez.

Swipes second bag Simpson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact The 24-year-old is getting his first look in the majors due to multiple injuries in the Rays' outfield, and Simpson has gone 4-for-12 with a double, an RBI a run and two steals in his first three games. He's hitting leadoff against right-handers, and his plus-plus speed makes him a very enticing fantasy target, so long as he can get on base often enough to use it. Jonny DeLuca (shoulder) has yet to begin a rehab assignment and Josh Lowe (oblique) is expected to be sidelined into May, so Simpson has a window to establish himself before the Tampa Bay outfield begins to get crowded.
