Josh Simpson - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

Selected from Triple-A The Marlins selected Simpson's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

Impact Simpson will join the Marlins' bullpen after logging a 3.41 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 31.2 innings in Triple-A. He'll likely work in middle relief while in Miami, and he will replace Robinson Pina on both the 26-man and 40-man rosters.

Making push for bullpen spot Simpson walked one and struck out five over 2.1 scoreless, no-hit innings in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros.

Impact The 27-year-old southpaw lost his spot on the 40-man roster during the offseason, but Simpson's performance in camp -- plus the Marlins' lack of established relief options from the left side -- has put him back on the radar. Simpson has a 12:4 K:BB through 9.1 Grapefruit League innings, and he's out-pitched Anthony Veneziano, who has an 8:7 K:BB in 9.2 spring frames. If Simpson does break camp on the 26-man roster, he may work in long relief behind an injury-ravaged rotation.

MARCH 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cast off 40-man Simpson cleared waivers and was outrighted off the Marlins' 40-man roster Monday.

Impact A 27-year-old southpaw, Simpson had surgery in April to repair the ulnar nerve in his left elbow and was able to return late in the year with a rehab assignment before being assinged to Triple-A. Simpson logged a 7.62 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and a 19:7 K:BB in his final 13 innings last season and has never reached the big leagues.
