Healthy at Triple-A Indianapolis Simon (shoulder) has reached base six times and stolen a base in his first two games with Triple-A Indianapolis.

Impact Simon was slow-played during spring training after having left shoulder surgery last October, but he avoided the minor-league injured list. Slated to turn 26 in April, Simon is not on the 40-man roster but could get a look at some point if the Pirates are in need of a utility player.

Eyeing late-March return to action Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Monday that Simon (shoulder) is projected to return to game competition in late March or early April, Kevin Gorman of TribLive...

Impact According to Tomczyk, Simon is "doing very well" four-plus months after undergoing surgery on his left shoulder. The 25-year-old has been taking swings in the batting cage without restrictions so far in camp, and he's set to take another step forward next week, when he's scheduled to face live pitching in batting practice. However, because Simon won't be game-ready until late March, he would appear to be firmly out of the mix for a spot on the Pirates' Opening Day roster.

Back with Bucs Simon (shoulder) signed a minor-league deal with the Pirates on Thursday.

Impact Simon was non-tendered by the Pirates in late November, but he's back with the organization. He presumably has an invitation to spring training, though that wasn't specified in the contract details. Simon is recovering from labrum surgery but is expected to be cleared to return in March.

Non-tendered by Pirates Simon (shoulder) was non-tendered by the Pirates on Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Impact Simon made his big-league debut in 2025, first with the Marlins and then with the Pirates. He totaled 88 plate appearances, slashing .234/..299/.273. Simon is currently recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum, but he is expected to be cleared in early March.

Designated for assignment The Pirates designated Simon (shoulder) for assignment Tuesday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Simon appeared in 27 MLB games in 2025 between Miami and Pittsburgh, slashing just .234/.299/.273 across 88 plate appearances. He finished the Triple-A season with an .844 OPS over 308 plate appearances, however, which may be good enough for another team to bring him in via waiver claim.

Labrum surgery on tap The Pirates announced Wednesday that Simon has been diagnosed with a torn labrum in his left shoulder and will undergo surgery in October once the bone heals, MLB.com reports.

Impact Pittsburgh placed Simon on the shelf Aug. 30 with an injury the team initially labeled as a dislocated shoulder, but follow-up tests revealed that he was dealing with damage to his labrum. He'll miss the rest of the season, and assuming his upcoming surgery in October goes off without any complications, he's expected to be cleared for baseball activities in early March. Even so, the shoulder issue could make the 25-year-old Simon a non-tender candidate this offseason after he slashed a middling .234/.299/.273 over 88 big-league plate appearances with Miami and Pittsburgh in 2025.
