2022 Fantasy Outlook
Simmons has a decade of MLB experience under his belt. His once world renowned defense at shortstop has held up pretty well by most measures into his early 30s (99th percentile in Outs Above Average last season). Unfortunately, the modest thump he displayed earlier in his career is non-existent at this point. Simmons managed a mere three homers last season after putting up a goose egg in that HR column in 2020, meaning he has a total of 10 long balls in his last 264 regular-season games. Simmons has a total of two "barrels," as defined by Statcast, over the last two seasons. He has always been an efficient base stealer, and while he essentially stopped running the past two years, that doesn't mean Simmons is incapable of returning to double-digit bags with regular playing time. The Cubs valued his experience and defense at shortstop enough to give Simmons $4 million for 2022. Read Past Outlooks

Out of Sunday's lineup
Simmons is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Simmons started at second base Saturday and went 2-for-4, but he'll return to the bench Sunday. Jonathan Villar is picking up the start at second, while Nico Hoerner will cover shortstop. Simmons is mostly a reserve infielder at this point, which keeps his fantasy value fairly low, as does his .413 OPS for the season.

How does Andrelton Simmons compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank.

* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

We're not going to say the game has already passed Simmons by at 31 years old, but he may be in the twilight of his days an everyday starter at shortstop. He suffered an ankle injury early on during the 2020 season and spent several weeks on the injured list. He returned to play most of the final month, totaling 127 PA without a single HR on the season. Most notably, Simmons' defense fell off dramatically by virtually every metric. Defense has always been Simmons' calling card, and he will need to return to playing shortstop at a high level if he's to receive regular at-bats throughout 2021 and beyond. Simmons has been a league-average hitter on a rate basis only three times in nine MLB seasons even with a high contact rate. Shortstop has gotten deep with more talent on the way, and the impetus is on Simmons to prove he's still worthy of a starting job. He'll get the chance after signing with the Twins where he'll take over the starting job and shift Jorge Polanco to second base.
