Taking seat Thursday

Posts steal in win
Simpson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Red Sox.
Analysis
Simpson was able to bounce back after an 0-for-5 effort Saturday. The outfielder has 43 steals this season, including five thefts across 19 contests in September. He's added a .299/.331/.349 slash line through 105 contests with 26 RBI, 51 runs scored, 14 doubles and three triples, but the speedy outfielder is still in search of his first home run.
