The Marlins recalled Simpson from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Simpson (2-2) has appeared in 23 games out of the Miami bullpen this season and has an ugly 8.87 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB across 22.1 innings of work. He'll likely fill a middle-relief role for the Marlins.

The Marlins optioned Simpson to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

One day after being torched for seven runs while retiring just one batter in an 11-2 loss to Atlanta, Simpson finds himself back in the minors. Seth Martinez and Freddy Tarnok were called up from Jacksonville to supplement the Marlins bullpen.

Simpson (2-0) picked up the win Friday over the Brewers, striking out one in a perfect sixth inning.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old southpaw has emerged as a strong option in the Marlins' bullpen since his rough big-league debut June 21 against Atlanta. Over his last 10 appearances and 11 innings, Simpson has posted a 0.82 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB while recording two wins and a hold.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Marlins activated Simpson (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander had the elbow issue surface in February and underwent surgery to repair the ulnar nerve in late April, but he's been fully cleared after an eight-appearance rehab assignment. Simpson surrendered six runs with an 11:8 K:BB across 8.2 innings during the rehab stint, so he'll be sent to Triple-A rather than joining Miami's bullpen.

Simpson (elbow) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Single-A Jupiter, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simpson had already been rehabbing at the Marlins' facility in Jupiter, Fla., and after throwing two innings of live batting practice last Wednesday, he's been given the green light to make a one-inning rehab appearance Tuesday. The left-hander has been out since late April while recovering from surgery to address left elbow neuritis and will require multiple rehab appearances before being activated from the 60-day injured list.

Simpson (elbow) will throw a live bullpen session Saturday with Single-A Jupiter, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simpson has been cleared to face batters after completing a pair of bullpens within the last week. While he threw 35 pitches in his previous session, Simpson is expected to throw only 25 pitches Saturday. The southpaw underwent elbow surgery in late April, but he is expected to pitch again in 2024.

Simpson (elbow) threw a 35-pitch bullpen Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tuesday's session marked Simpson's second bullpen since undergoing elbow surgery in late April. The lefty is expected to complete up to two more sessions before being cleared to face hitters and still appears multiple weeks away from being activated.
