The Pirates recalled Simon from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

1w agoRotowire

Simon was sent down to Triple-A on Friday following Ryan O'Hearn's return from the injured list, but the former will turn around and rejoin the big club with Esmerlyn Valdez (hamstring) landing on the IL. Simon logged just one plate appearance during his previous week-long stint with the Bucs and will likely continue to serve as bench depth until Valdez is healthy.

The Pirates optioned Simon to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Simon had just been recalled Sunday and received only one plate appearance this week. He's clearing off the roster to make room for the return of Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) from the injured list.

The Pirates recalled Simon from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

1w agoRotowire

The 26-year-old was demoted to Indianapolis in mid-August but is back in Pittsburgh ahead of Sunday's series finale versus the Angels. Simon is batting .290 in 34 plate appearances in the majors this year but hasn't provided much pop with just one extra-base hit.

The Pirates optioned Simon to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Aug 17Rotowire

Simon will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to outfielder Oneil Cruz (hand), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. After getting the call from Triple-A on Aug. 5, Simon saw a fairly steady role for the Pirates, starting in eight of the club's ensuing 11 games while slashing .290/.333/.323 with one stolen base, four runs and two RBI over 34 plate appearances.

Simon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Aug 16Rotowire

After going 1-for-7 with a run scored in the first two contests of the series, Simon will get a breather. His move to the bench will open up a spot in the outfield for Billy Cook, who will make his first start since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.
