Overview

  • Seattle obtained Simpson from Miami for cash considerations and added the 28-year-old to the 40-man roster.
  • Evans underwent Tommy John surgery on Jan. 23 performed by Dr. Keith Meister, and he is expected to miss the 2026 season.
  • The club formally moved Evans to the 60-day injured list as part of Monday’s transactions.
  • Simpson debuted in 2025, posting a 4-2 record with a 7.34 ERA, 22 walks and 36 strikeouts over 30.2 innings in 31 relief outings.
  • He recorded a 3.41 ERA at Triple-A Jacksonville last year, while Seattle’s established rotation pieces suggest his role aligns with bullpen depth.
