Rays recall rookie Chandler Simpson after a speedy splash in his big league debut
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays are recalling speedy rookie outfielder Chandler Simpson, who stole 19 bases in his first 35 major league games this season before a roster squeeze forced him back to Triple-A Durham. The return of Simpson on Tuesday came a day after the Rays optioned center fielder Kameron Misner to Durham. Misner has played stellar defense but was hitting just .148 with a .425 OPS since May 1. The 24-year-old Simpson made his big league debut April 19, earlier than planned because of injuries in the Tampa Bay outfield. He stole five bases in his last two games before going back down in late May. Josh Lowe and Jake Mangum had returned from injuries, and the Rays decided to keep Misner in the majors because of his defense. Simpson scored from second base on an infield hit to help spark a 7-5 victory over the New York Yankees on May 4. A second-round pick in the 2022 amateur draft, Simpson is hitting .285. He has played primarily left field but had several starts in center. In his two stints with Durham this season, Simpson is hitting .333 with 19 steals in 33 games. He has 225 steals in 266 career minor league games. ___ AP MLB:

Jankowski drives in winning run as Tampa Bay beats Milwaukee 3-2 after historic rain delays
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Travis Jankowski had a pair of hits including the winning RBI single in the ninth inning in Tampa Bay's 3-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday after the first home field weather delays in Rays teams history. Jankowski singled off closer Trevor Megill to bring home rookie Kameron Misner, who was walked by Grant Anderson (1-2) and stole second. The hit might have produced a close play at the plate but the ball snuck under the glove of left fielder Isaac Collins. Misner scored two of Tampa Bay's three runs. A journeyman who spent spring training with both the Cubs and White Sox before the Rays acquired him last month, Jankowski also gave Tampa Bay a 2-1 lead with a fourth-inning sacrifice fly. Pete Fairbanks (3-1) pitched the ninth. Jackson Chourio put Milwaukee on the board with a first-pitch solo homer off Taj Bradley in the third. In the fifth, Joey Ortiz snuck a solo homer inside the right-field foul pole, his first home run since Sept. 20. Key moment Following a 38-minute rain delay in the bottom of the fifth, pitchers from both teams combined to retire 19 straight until the Brewers' ninth, when consecutive batters reached on errors. After Fairbanks walked Rhys Hoskins to load the bases, Fairbanks got a popup and flyout to preserve the tie. Key stat Precipitation delayed the first pitch by 27 minutes, the first home rain delay in Tampa Bay's 28-year franchise history. The skies opened again in the bottom of the fifth. The Rays are temporarily playing at Steinbrenner Field after Hurricane Milton shredded Tropicana Field's roof in October. Fans were given free ponchos to mark the occasion. Up next In the series finale on Sunday, Chad Patrick (2-3, 3.08 ERA) starts for Milwaukee against Tampa Bay's Drew Rasmussen (1-3, 3.09). ___ AP MLB:
