Chandler Simpson Leaves Early Monday With Leg Cramps
Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that outfielder Chandler Simpson (leg) left Monday's win over the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays with a leg issue that they think "might just have been a cramp more than anything," according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Strength tests on Simpson's leg were good. He was likely going to be off on Tuesday with a left-hander on the mound for Toronto. "Then we'll go from there. But from all the reports, sounds really good," Cash said. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Wednesday to see if the speedy Simpson can return, but as of now, it looks like he has avoided a serious injury. Simpson had a big game for his fantasy managers out of the leadoff spot on Monday before leaving, too, going 3-for-5 at the plate with three runs scored and two stolen bases. The 25-year-old is now up to 14 swipes on the season. He has yet to homer through 149 big-league games, but Simpson is an elite speed threat for fantasy managers after he stole 44 bags in 109 games in his rookie campaign in 2025.
