Josh Simpson - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Added to big-league roster The Mariners recalled Simpson from Triple-A Tacoma ahead of Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Simpson has appeared in four games out of the Seattle bullpen this season, giving up three earned runs on four hits and two walks across three innings. He'll likely be in store for an abbreviated stay with the big club, as the Mariners will need to clear room on the 26-man active roster for the newly acquired Seranthony Dominguez prior to Tuesday's series opener with the Tigers.

Up from Tacoma The Mariners recalled Simpson from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Impact With Matt Brash (lat) landing on the injured list Friday, the Mariners will call upon Simpson to fill the void in their bullpen. The 28-year-old southpaw struggled mightily in the big leagues last year, finishing with a 7.34 ERA and 1.83 WHIP across 30.2 innings with the Marlins. However, he's bounced back nicely with the Rainiers this season, allowing just one earned run on three hits and six walks while striking out 12 batters over 9.1 frames.

Sent down to Triple-A The Mariners optioned Simpson to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Impact Simpson was acquired by the Mariners from the Marlins in mid-February. The 28-year-old southpaw made his major-league debut for Miami in 2025 and appeared in 31 games, posting a 7.34 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 36:22 K:BB across 30.2 innings. Simpson will open the 2026 season in Triple-A but could get called up to the majors if the Mariners need a left-hander out of the bullpen.

Shipped to Seattle The Mariners acquired Simpson from the Marlins on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.

Impact Simpson reached the big leagues for the first time in 2025 but was unable to work his way into a high-leverage role with Miami after submitting a 7.34 ERA and 1.83 WHIP in 30.2 innings. The southpaw yielded five home runs over 31 appearances and walked 14.6 percent of the batters he faced, but he generated ground balls at a high rate (59.6 percent) and struck out hitters at a decent clip (23.8 percent). Seattle recognized enough potential in Simpson to bring him aboard as an extra left-handed option out of the bullpen and opened up a 40-man roster spot for him by placing Logan Evans (elbow) on the 60-day injured list.

Booted from roster Simpson was designated for assignment Thursday.

Impact Simpson made his big-league debut in 2025, posting a 7.34 ERA and 1.83 WHIP across 30.2 innings with the Marlins. He walked 22 during that time while also serving up 1.5 HR/9. Those numbers make it little surprise that Simpson lost his roster spot, a move that created room for John King to officially be added to the roster.
