Alfredo Simon allowed three runs on five hits over seven innings of a no-decision against the Brewers on Sunday. Simon served up solo home runs to Scooter Gennett and Khris Davis among his five hits, and he also walked a batter in the game. He continues to find success as a starter, as Simon owns a 4-1 record, 1.99 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in his six starts this year. Simon will square off against the hot-hitting Rockies on Sunday.

Alfredo Simon allowed two runs on five hits over six innings to earn the win against the Cubs on Tuesday. Outside of a two-run single by Starlin Castro, Simon was his usual -- usual this season, at least -- stingy self. The right-hander walked two while striking out five in his six innings of work. He's now turned in quality starts in each of his five outings to start the year, and he'll take a 4-1 record, 1.60 ERA and 0.98 WHIP into Sunday's divisional matchup with the Brewers.

Rachel Axon of USAToday.com reports that a woman contending she was sexually assaulted by Alfredo Simon in April 2013 filed a civil lawsuit in Washington D.C. on Thursday. The woman, who filed under a pseudonym, Jane Doe, is seeking $5 million in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages. She says that she met Simon at a nightclub on April 27 last year and the pitcher eventually took her back to his hotel room even though she was "visibly intoxicated" and unable to consent. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia decided last year not to pursue charges in the case. Simon, of course, faced manslaughter charges after a shooting in his native Dominican Republic in 2011 before eventually being acquitted.

Alfredo Simon improved to 3-1 in Wednesday's start as the Reds defeated the Reds 5-2. Simon allowed two runs on four hits and five walks while striking out four. In three starts entering Wednesday, Simon had walked four total, so it was odd to see him so spotty with his command. His ERA also rose to 1.30. Simon has been a welcome addition to the Reds' rotation and will look to continue his success against the Cubs at home in his next start.

Alfredo Simon delivered another outstanding performance in Friday's victory over the Cubs, allowing just one unearned run on four hits in his six innings of work. Simon struck out three while walking a pair on the afternoon. He now sports an impressive 0.86 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 13/4 K/BB ratio over 21 innings in his first three starts. With Mat Latos still sidelined, he'll continue to have mixed league value in the near-term, and makes for a solid play against the Pirates in Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

Alfredo Simon tossed eight innings of one-run ball in a tough-luck loss to the Rays on Saturday. The eight-inning outing tied a career-high. He had done it twice before in 2011 with the Orioles. His only mistake Saturday was a solo homer by James Loney in the top of the second inning, but without any help from his offense, it resulted in a loss. He fanned four and walked on batter in the loss and now owns a 1.20 ERA and 10/2 K/BB ratio in 15 innings across two starts. Given Mat Latos' issues, the Reds have to feel pretty good about him right now.

Alfredo Simon rolled over the Mets in his first start of the season, allowing just one run on four hits in the Reds' 2-1 win Sunday. After not starting a game since the 2011 season, the Reds decided to prepare Simon as a starter this spring given the injury to Mat Latos. The team may rethink returning Simon to the bullpen after he limited the Mets to four hits and a walk while striking out six over seven innings. Even with Latos' return on the horizon, Simon should get at least one more start to convince management he should stick in the rotation, most likely next week against the Rays.

Alfredo Simon will open the 2014 season as the Reds' fifth starter. Simon posted an outstanding 2.87 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 87 2/3 innings last season out of the Reds' bullpen. He hasn't started a game since 2011, so it's hard to recommend adding him outside of NL-only fantasy leagues.

Reds manager Bryan Price said Tuesday that he still hasn't decided whether Alfredo Simon will begin the year in the rotation or the bullpen. It was assumed that Simon would fill a rotation spot until Mat Latos (knee) is ready, but Price believes that he could be more useful out of the bullpen. If the Reds don't go with Simon in the rotation, they'll likely use right-hander Brett Marshall or left-hander Jeff Francis.

Alfredo Simon surrendered four runs (three earned) in five innings during Monday's start against the Indians. Simon struck out two, walked one and allowed six hits including home runs to Lonnie Chisenhall and Ryan Raburn. Simon, who has been stretched out as a starter throughout the spring, is expected to fill in as a starter while Mat Latos works his way back from knee surgery.
