  09/30/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Simmons is out of the lineup Sunday against the Athletics, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports. Manager Mike Scioscia will hold out two lineup mainstays in Simmons and Justin Upton in the season finale, affording Kaleb Cowart and Eric Young Jr. turns at shortstop and in left field, respectively. In addition to supplying his usual Gold Glove-caliber defense in the middle infield, Simmons made some strides as a contact hitter in 2018. He trimmed his strikeout rate to a career-best 7.3 percent, aiding him to a stellar .292 average over 146 games.

• Angels' Andrelton Simmons: Exits with knee injury Sunday

  09/24/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Simmons was lifted in the bottom of the seventh inning of Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Astros after landing awkwardly on his right knee, Alyson Footer of MLB.com reports. After turning in a pair of two-hit performances to begin the three-game set in Houston, Simmons ended the road trip with an 0-for-3 showing at the dish in the finale before getting banged up. The Gold Glove shortstop indicated after the contest that he believes his injury is minor, but the Angels could nonetheless act cautiously with him over the final week of the season after he noted that he experienced some stiffness with his knee. The Angels should have an update on Simmons' status later Monday when they kick off their homestand with a divisional showdown with the Rangers.
