Simon (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The move was procedural to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Matt Magill from Triple-A Louisville. His 2016 campaign has come to an end and the veteran will use the offseason to rehab and prove he's still worth a look as he enters free agency.

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.

Simon aggravated his shoulder injury and will miss the remainder of the season, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simon has played just 15 games for the big club this season, over which he's posted a 9.36 ERA and 2.05 WHIP. Home runs also gave him trouble this season as he allowed 15 over just 58.2 innings, giving him a 2.3 HR/9.

Simon (shoulder) was activated from the DL on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Simon had been on the disabled list since June 22, but is finally ready to return to action. While on his rehab assignment, Simon allowed eight runs over 15 innings, good for a 4.80 ERA. He hasn't had much luck in with the big club this season either, as he owns a 9.45 ERA and 2.06 WHIP after pitching 53.1 innings.

Simon (shoulder) will pitch again on his rehab assignment Monday for Triple-A Louisville, but should be ending his assignment soon and joining the big club after September roster expansion.

EDGE Analysis

Simon probably will work in long relief, though a spot start or two could still come if/when the Reds shut down Brandon Finnegan.

Simon (shoulder) is beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Sunday night.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what role Simon will have upon his return, but the Reds probably will be looking to manage the innings of Brandon Finnegan and Cody Reed soon, among others. So it's not out of the question that Simon will get a few more starts before the end of the season.

Simon (shoulder) has been throwing bullpen sessions while the Reds were traveling the last week, but could throw live batting practice sessions this week, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simon doesn't really have a spot to return to, at least until an injury occurs or rosters expand in September. The Reds aren't in a hurry to bring him back.

Simon (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day DL on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Simon has been absolutely terrible this season for the Reds, going 2-7 with a 9.45 ERA and 2.06 WHIP. Now he will hit the disabled list and focus on rehabbing his shoulder. However, if the 35-year-old can't improve upon his return, his days with the Reds may be limited.

Simon (shoulder) is not with the Reds for their two-game series in Texas, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simon instead went to Cincinnati to get further examinations. The team returns home Thursday, but there's a good chance that Simon will go on the DL on Wednesday to make room for the team to activate Michael Lorenzen.

Simon is dealing with a shoulder injury that has seen no improvement despite receiving medication, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simon most recently pitched Wednesday, giving up five hits and three earned runs during just one inning of relief work. It's unclear if he's headed for a DL stint or a demotion, as the 35-year-old currently sits with a 9.45 ERA and 2.06 WHIP over 53.2 innings.
