Two stolen bases off bench
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.
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.

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

Nursing sore hand
Simpson (face) had his right hand wrapped up due to soreness and is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Analysis
The 24-year-old had some facial injuries after making a hard slide into home plate Saturday, but his hand now appears to be more of an issue as he had a bit of trouble gripping a bat Sunday. Manager Kevin Cash indicated Simpson could still be available in an emergency for Sunday's contest, so the hand injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern.

Expected back Sunday
Simpson suffered a bloody nose and lip during Saturday's game against the Marlins but is expected to play Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis
Simpson suffered a concerning looking injury after being tagged out at home plate in the ninth inning of Saturday's game. However, he avoided serious injury and could avoid missing any additional time.

Leaves early with injury
Simpson was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays with an apparent injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis
Simpson looked to be in a considerable amount of pain after being tagged out at the plate in the ninth inning. After being tended to by the Rays' trainers, he was able to walk off the field under his own power. It's not immediately clear what kind of injury he's dealing with, but the team should offer more information relatively soon.

Five-game hitting streak
Simpson went 3-for-3 with an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base Friday against the Marlins.
Analysis
Simpson began his time in the majors hitting leadoff, but he has hit eighth and ninth in his last two games, coinciding with the return of Josh Lowe. Simpson had slowed down considerably at the plate but is now riding a five-game hitting streak, during which he has gone 9-for-20 with three RBI, five runs scored and one stolen base.
