Simpson is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox. Simpson returned to the lineup Tuesday after missing three starts with left thumb soreness. He went hitless in that contest and the left-handed hitter will now sit out Wednesday's matinee versus Boston southpaw Jake Bennett. Ryan Vilade will cover left field for the Rays.

Returning to lineup Tuesday
Simpson (thumb) will start in left field and bat third in Tuesday's game against the Red Sox. Simpson missed the past three games while battling left thumb soreness, but he appeared in Monday's contest as a pinch runner and is feeling well enough to give it a go Tuesday in a full-time capacity. The speedster is in the midst of a 1-for-21 slide at the plate.
Not cleared to start Monday
Simpson (thumb) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports. The Rays will hold Simpson out of the starting nine for a third straight game while he manages a sore left thumb, but as was the case in the prior two contests, he's expected to remain available off the bench. Tampa Bay called up Austin Slater from Triple-A Durham on Monday and will have him cover Simpson's usual spot in left field in the series opener versus Boston.
