Chandler Simpson Back in Leadoff Spot for Rays on Wednesday
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Chandler Simpson (leg) is starting in left field and is batting leadoff for Wednesday's game in Toronto against the hosting Blue Jays and right-hander Dylan Cease, according to MLB.com. Simpson only ended up missing one game after dealing with cramps in his left leg on Monday. The 25-year-old speedster should be returned to starting lineups in traditional fantasy leagues, although he's more of a fade in DFS against Cease, who has looked much better in his first year with the Blue Jays in 2026. Simpson returns to the lineup sporting a strong .314/.339/.359 slash line, although he's still searching for his first major-league home run and has a weak .698 OPS in 156 at-bats. He had 44 stolen bases for the Rays in just 109 games played in his rookie campaign in 2025, and Simpson currently has 14 steals in 18 attempts through 40 games this season. Simpson has a hit in his only career at-bat against Cease.
