Rays make Chandler Simpson decision.

The Tampa Bay Rays saw star outfielder Chandler Simpson leave Monday’s game against the Detroit Tigers.

Simpson was trying to steal second base when his helmet popped off and then came back down and hit him in the face. The speedster immediately was in pain, and when he lifted his head up, he was bleeding from his mouth.

On the broadcast, the commentators claimed they thought Simpson’s tooth came out, which caused the pain and blood. But, due to the blood and pain, the Rays trainers ended up taking Simpson out of the game, and he was replaced by Ryan Vilde.

Simpson is hitting .284 with 0 home runs and 12 RBIs this season, along with 14 stolen bases.

More to come.
