Simpson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

He was also caught stealing, but Simpson has picked up where he left off on the basepaths since returning to the Rays roster Tuesday. The 24-year-old is batting .316 (6-for-19) with a triple and two stolen bases in five games since his promotion, and on the season he's gone 21-for-25 on steal attempts in his first 40 MLB contests.

The Rays recalled Simpson from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old speedster was optioned to Durham in late May after posting a .285/.315/.317 slash line with no homers, 19 steals, 11 RBI and 17 runs in his first 35 big-league games, and he'll receive another look with the Rays following the demotion of Kameron Misner. Simpson delivered offensively in his first taste of the majors, but he provided poor defense with minus-5 DRS and minus-3 OAA in just 284 defensive innings. He'll provide fantasy managers with a strong average and stolen-base production, though the defense could result in some playing time limitations if he doesn't improve in the field.

The Rays are expected to recall Simpson from Triple-A Durham prior to Tuesday's game in Kansas City, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kameron Misner has already been optioned to Durham, and his roster spot will be filled by Simpson. The speedy Simpson slashed .285/.315/.317 with 19 steals in 35 games earlier this season with the Rays and should see regular playing time in the outfield, at least against right-handers. Simpson should be scooped back up in fantasy leagues where he was dropped, particularly for managers in need of aid in the stolen-base category.

The Rays optioned Simpson to Triple-A Durham on Friday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old speedster enjoyed a strong start to his big-league career with a .285 batting average, 19 steals, 11 RBI and 17 runs in his first 35 games, but he's being demoted Friday with Jake Mangum (groin) making his return from the injured list. It's likely only a matter of time before Simpson rejoins the Rays this season, but for now he'll return to Durham, where he may focus on improving his defense after posting minus-5 DRS and minus-3 OAA in 284 outfield innings.

Simpson went 1-for-4 with a pair of stolen bases in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Simpson's now stolen nine bases in his last 11 games, improving to 16-for-19 in steal attempts this season. The rookie outfielder has also been swinging the bat well, going 17-for-50 (.340) in his last 15 contests. Overall, Simpson is slashing .286/.312/.319 with 11 RBI and 16 runs scored through his first 126 plate appearances this year.

Simpson went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base Sunday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Simpson was out of the lineup for three straight games due to injuries to his hand and face to begin the week, but that hasn't deterred him from being aggressive on the basepaths. After Sunday's performance, he has at least one stolen base in six of his last eight games. Simpson has seven total steals in that span, bringing his total to 14 across 31 games.

Simpson went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base Wednesday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Simpson was out of the lineup for the last three days due to a combination of injuries to his hand and face. He singled in the first inning to deliver his 10th RBI of the season. Simpson later stole his 12th bag of the campaign and is now 16-for-57 at the plate in the May.

Simpson (hand/face) will start in left field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Astros, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simpson will be back in the lineup for the first time since Saturday, when he exited early in the Rays' 4-0 win over the Marlins due to a sore hand and some facial injuries. He wasn't available for the series finale versus Miami on Sunday, but Simpson was deployed off the bench in both of the first two games against Houston and contributed a pair of stolen bases Monday. His absences from the lineup Monday and Tuesday likely had more to do with the Astros sending lefties to the hill, but the left-handed-hitting Simpson will pick up a start Wednesday against Houston right-hander Hunter Brown.

Simpson (hand) had two stolen bases as a pinch runner and defensive replacement in Monday's loss to Houston. He reached base on catcher's interference in his lone plate appearance.

EDGE Analysis

Simpson suffered hand and facial injuries after making a hard slide into home plate Saturday. He didn't play in Sunday's game. He was out of the starting lineup Monday, but that was more likely due to a left-handed pitcher starting the game. It looks like he's back to full speed after Monday's game.

Simpson (hand) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

While Simpson will be out of the lineup for a second straight day, it sounds like it's more because the Astros are starting a lefty in Colton Gordon, rather than any concerns about the right hand injury that kept him out Sunday. Rays manager Kevin Cash said the rookie outfielder is "good to go" and available off the bench Monday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports. Christopher Morel is in left field and batting third for the Rays on Monday. Simpson could be back in the starting lineup as soon as Tuesday, although the Rays are scheduled to face another southpaw that day in Brandon Walter, so it's possible Tampa Bay holds Simpson back until Wednesday.
