The Rays are promoting outfield prospect Chandler Simpson from Triple-A Durham, according to Jeff Passan. Simpson, 24, possesses elite speed and is expected to be available starting Friday against the Yankees. Richie Palacios will reportedly head to the injured list to open an active roster spot, though a corresponding 40-man roster move will also be necessary for Simpson. (Jeff Passan)
