Simpson (finger) will start in left field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Simpson will check back into the starting nine after sore right index and middle fingers kept him on the bench the previous two nights. Before his recent absences, Simpson had recorded at least one hit in 11 of 12 starts, slashing .386/.438/.477 while adding six steals, three runs and two RBI during that stretch.
