Rays recall rookie Chandler Simpson after a speedy splash in his big league debut

On June 24, 2025, the Tampa Bay Rays brought back their speedy rookie, Chandler Simpson, to the major league roster as they embarked on an extended series of games away from home.
Simpson's early big league debut in April 2025 was driven by injuries and roster needs, but he was sent back down once teammates returned.
He impressed with a.333 average and 19 steals in 33 Triple-A games, while working on his defense and plate discipline to secure on-base consistency.
Simpson leads MLB with a 3.97-second home-to-first time and has stolen 225 bases in 266 minor league games, highlighting his elite speed.
The Rays expect Simpson's return to boost their lineup during a demanding stretch of mostly road games, aiming to capitalize on his speed and improved all-around play.
