Andrelton Simmons News
Chicago Cubs shortstop Andrelton Simmons (shoulder) is scheduled to face live pitching on Tuesday in Arizona, and he's likely to go on a minor league rehab assignment soon. Simmons remains on a throwing program and has reported feeling around "85-90 percent" with his arm, according to manager David Ross. "I get video of him pretty regularly," Ross said on April 15. "Looks good. Throwing's going well. Ground balls are going well. He feels good. He feels like he's at 85 percent with the arm. So, I don't think he's that far away. It's just getting back to the swings." Until Simmons returns, Nico Hoerner will continue to be the Cubs regular shortstop.
Chicago Cubs shortstop Andrelton Simmons (shoulder), who is dealing with right shoulder soreness, is expected to throw in the next day or two. Simmons was scratched from the Cactus League lineup on Saturday, but his injury doesn't appear to be serious enough to endanger his status for Opening Day in early April. The 32-year-old could be splitting time at the 6 with Nico Hoerner this year in his first year in Chicago. Simmons is a defense-first player, giving him very little fantasy appeal in deep mixed and NL-only leagues as middle infield depth. He hit just .223/.283/.274 with three home runs, 31 RBI and 37 runs scored in 131 games in his lone season in Minnesota last year, and Simmons has only reached double digits in home runs three times in his 10-year career.
Chicago Cubs shortstop Andrelton Simmons (shoulder) is "dealing with right shoulder soreness," according to The Chicago Tribune's Meghan Montemurro. Also per Montemurro, the shortstop's "progress has been slowed since he reported to camp." Simmons joined the Cubs as a free agent after spending last season with the Minnesota Twins. The veteran hit .223 with a .283 on-base percentage, three home runs and a stolen base in 451 plate appearances with Minnesota. Simmons looks set to split time with Nico Hoerner at shortstop this season for Chicago. He's probably only an option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues as a defense-first player.
