Tampa Bay Rays outfield prospect Chandler Simpson performed quite well during his first taste of the majors earlier in the season. However, after his brief stint, the Rays opted to send him back to Triple-A to continue his development.

Should fantasy managers add Simpson to their bench? When should fantasy managers expect him to get the call? Let's dive in!

Chandler Simpson Prospect Update for Fantasy Baseball

During his first look in the big leagues, the No. 7-ranked prospect in the Tampa Bay system posted a solid .285/.315/.317 line across 35 contests. During this stretch, Simpson swiped an impressive 19 bags and scored 17 runs.

Since June 1, Simpson has been one of the most dominant hitters at the Triple-A level. During his last 16 games, Simpson has posted a stellar .386/.416/.465 line with three doubles, two triples, 11 stolen bases, and an 8:6 K:BB.

During the 2024 campaign, Simpson stole an incredible 104 bags across 110 games between High-A and Double-A.

Seeing Simpson carry his elite speed upside down into the majors during his first stint is a very positive sign. He should be in a great position to continue to be one of the most dangerous players on the basepaths.

Chandler Simpson Outlook for Fantasy Baseball

While he may not possess much power upside, he can provide an elite tally of stolen bases with a high amount of runs and a solid batting average.

During his second stint in Tampa Bay, Simpson should be given most of the starting opportunities in left field or center field, as they are set to option Kameron Misner to Triple-A Durham. Simpson will likely see most of his starts in left field over Christopher Morel. However, given his elite speed, he could also be shifted to center field in favor of Jake Mangum.

Fantasy managers looking to improve their power and RBI totals should not look at adding Simpson. Simpson is an elite stolen base contributor with solid upside to produce a strong batting average and run total.

BREAKING: The Tampa Bay Rays have recalled Chandler Simpson. Simpson was hitting .366 with 11 SB since being optioned to Triple-A.
