Simmons is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta. 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.

Simmons is starting at second base and batting ninth in Friday's game against Atlanta. The veteran infielder will make his second consecutive start at second base, as the Cubs are missing Nick Madrigal (groin) at the moment. Simmons hasn't done much with the bat this year, registering just a .167/.182/.167 slash line, so he probably can be avoided in most leagues.

Simmons is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles. Now on the bench for the fifth time in seven games, Simmons appears to have shifted into a utility role following the recent returns of Nico Hoerner and Nick Madrigal from the injured list. Simmons will still spell Hoerner and Madrigal occasionally, but he's unlikely to see consistent enough playing time to make an impact even in deeper mixed leagues.

Simmons isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. Simmons went 0-for-4 during Friday's blowout loss to St. Louis, and he'll be on the bench for the third time in the last four games. Nick Madrigal is starting at the keystone and batting ninth.

Simmons is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals. Simmons is 2-for-16 in his past seven appearances and will take a seat for the second straight game. Nick Madrigal will man the keystone in his place Thursday.
