Simpson went 3-for-5 with two RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Simpson has hit safely in eight of nine games since returning from a finger injury, and he's racked up multiple hits in four of his last five contests. The speedy outfielder has gone just 2-for-4 on steal attempts, but getting caught a few times hasn't deterred him from being bold on the basepaths. Overall, he has 34 steals on 44 attempts while slashing .307/.342/.360 across 285 plate appearances. He's added 18 RBI, 36 runs scored, 10 doubles and two triples, but he has yet to hit a home run in the majors and will likely never be a source of power.

Simpson went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored Wednesday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Simpson has at least one hit in seven of his last eight games and extended his hitting streak to five games with Wednesday's performance. He hasn't produced many counting stats in that stretch, as he has four runs but only one RBI and one stolen base across the eight contests. Simpson is also just 1-for-5 on his most recent stolen-base attempts, so the team may slow down his opportunities on the basepaths.

Simpson went 1-for-5 with an RBI and a double Tuesday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Simpson missed four consecutive games due to a finger injury but returned to hit atop the Rays' order Tuesday. He delivered an RBI double in the fourth inning as part of a seven-run frame. That marked only Simpson's 10th extra-base hit in 66 games, and speed remains his primary source of fantasy intrigue as he has 32 stolen bases.

Simpson (finger) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
It's a fourth straight start that Simpson has missed after he suffered a left index finger sprain in Thursday's loss to the Yankees. The Rays are hopeful that the speedy outfielder will be able to avoid the 10-day injured list, but he'll need to make progress in a hurry. Jonny DeLuca is receiving another start in center field Monday.

Simpson (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old will sit for a third straight game Sunday after he sustained a sprained left index finger in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Yankees. According to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Simpson said Sunday that he's still trying to make progress with his hitting and fielding before re-enter the lineup, though he could be available off the bnech for the series finale with Los Angeles. Jonny DeLuca is receiving another start in center field Sunday for Tampa Bay.

Simpson (finger) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simpson will miss a second consecutive start Saturday after spraining his left index finger during Thursday's contest against the Yankees. Both of Simpson's absences have come with left-handers on the mound for the Dodgers, so the speedy outfielder may be sitting out more so for matchup reasons. Either way, it will give Jonny DeLuca another chance to start in center field for the Rays while batting seventh.
