Simon will require season-ending surgery to address his ailing shoulder, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simon's miserable season will end on an unfortunate note, as the surgery could potentially sideline him through the start of the 2017 campaign. Considering he's 35 years old and coming off a major arm injury and a season in which he posted a 9.36 ERA over 58.2 innings, Simon, a soon-to-be free agent, may have to wait a while before landing a contract this winter.
