Availability
Ronny Simon has been reassigned to minor league camp by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
Simon missed most of Grapefruit League action with a shoulder injury. He made his major league debut last season, hitting .234 in 88 plate appearances between Miami and Pittsburgh. Simon is a career .268 hitter in seven minor league seasons, posting 73 home runs and 151 stolen bases in 612 games. He'll open 2026 in Triple-A Indianapolis.
Pirates second baseman Ronny Simon is participating in all baseball activities and is ready for Grapefruit League action and a ramp-up toward the regular season.
Fantasy Impact
Simon underwent left shoulder labral surgery almost five months ago, but appears ready to get into some spring games. The 25-year-old made his big league debut in 2025, but also hit .297 with eight homers, 28 stolen bases, and an .884 OPS across 69 Triple-A games between the Marlins and Pirates organizations a season ago.
Ronny Simon (shoulder), who underwent shoulder surgery four months ago, has been swinging in the cage and is expected to return to game action in late March/early April.
Fantasy Impact
Simon has had a cup of coffee at the big league level and has slashed .234/.299/.273 across 88 plate appearances. He had more success in the minors, batting .297 with eight home runs and 28 stolen bases in only 69 games. Simon, who primarily plays second base, should open the year in Triple-A Indianapolis but could see some at bats in Pittsburgh later in the year.
The Pirates re-signed INF/OF Ronny Simon to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Fantasy Impact
Simon appeared in 27 games this past season between the Pirates and Marlins. He will continue to add bench depth for Pittsburgh.
The Pittsburgh Pirates transferred Ronny Simon to the 60-day injured list on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Simon has already been ruled out for the season as he's scheduled to undergo surgery to repair his torn labrum in October. If the procedure and recovery go well, he could be cleared for all baseball activities in early March. In a corresponding move, the Pirates selected the contract of their No. 4 prospect, Hunter Barco.
