Chandler Simpson Injury: Remaining on bench Sunday

Simpson (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

The 24-year-old will sit for a third straight game Sunday after he sustained a sprained left index finger in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Yankees. According to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Simpson said Sunday that he's still trying to make progress with his hitting and fielding before re-enter the lineup, though he could be available off the bnech for the series finale with Los Angeles. Jonny DeLuca is receiving another start in center field Sunday for Tampa Bay.
