Chandler Simpson was removed from Monday's game against the Blue Jays with a left leg cramp.
AI Summary
Chandler Simpson was removed from Monday's game against the Blue Jays in the eighth inning due to a left leg cramp, though it does not appear to be a significant concern.
Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters Simpson was lifted for a defensive replacement in the eighth inning due to some left leg cramping after going 3-for-5 with three runs scored and a pair of stolen bases out of the leadoff spot. It doesn't sound like a significant concern. The 25-year-old's speed caused some serious chaos on the basepaths for Toronto all night, but he put on a masterclass in the fourth inning when he reached on an infield single and advanced on a balk before scoring on an errant throw after swiping third base. He's up to 14 steals through 40 games.
