Pirates' Ronny Simon: Bound for Triple-A
The Pirates optioned Simon to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Simon will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to outfielder Oneil Cruz (hand), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. After getting the call from Triple-A on Aug. 5, Simon saw a fairly steady role for the Pirates, starting in eight of the club's ensuing 11 games while slashing .290/.333/.323 with one stolen base, four runs and two RBI over 34 plate appearances.

Pirates' Ronny Simon: Heading to bench Sunday
Simon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
After going 1-for-7 with a run scored in the first two contests of the series, Simon will get a breather. His move to the bench will open up a spot in the outfield for Billy Cook, who will make his first start since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Pirates' Ronny Simon: Handling regular role
Simon will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Since being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis a week ago, the switch-hitting Simon appears to have taken hold of a spot in the Pirates' everyday lineup. He'll pick up his sixth consecutive start Wednesday after going 6-for-19 with a a double, a walk, a stolen base, three runs and two RBI in the prior five games. Simon could soon be in danger of a role reduction, however, as the Pirates appear likely to get center fielder Oneil Cruz (hand) back from the injured list either later this week or early next week.

Simon is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Miami.
Simon had made six consecutive starts and went 8-for-23 at the plate during that stretch, but he will exit the lineup for Thursday's series finale. Brandon Lowe will get a start at designated hitter for the Pirates, while Nick Gonzales shifts to second base and Jared Triolo grabs a start at third base.

Pirates' Ronny Simon: Logs two RBI in Saturday's win
Simon went 2-for-5 with a two-run double and a steal during the Pirates' 9-0 win over the Mets on Saturday.
Simon recorded his first RBI of the season when his double in the first inning brought both Spencer Horwitz and Bryan Reynolds home. Simon also registered his first steal of the year in the third inning before coming home to score later in the frame. The 26-year-old outfielder has started in each of Pittsburgh's last three games and will continue to see extended reps for as long as both Oneil Cruz (hand) and Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) are on the IL.

Pirates' Ronny Simon: Call-up official
The Pirates selected Simon's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.
Pittsburgh released designated hitter Marcell Ozuna to clear room on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for Simon, who will be up in the big leagues for the first time in 2026. The 26-year-old posted an .883 OPS with eight home runs and 32 steals at Triple-A this season and should offer the Pirates some versatility off the bench. Simon is a switch hitter who is capable of playing multiple infield and outfield spots.

Pirates' Ronny Simon: Returning to majors
The Pirates are expected to select Simon's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Simon got his first taste of the majors last season but slashed just .234/.299/.273 across 88 plate appearances between Miami and Pittsburgh. He's spent all of 2026 at Triple-A and will now receive another shot with the big club after batting .322 with an .883 OPS across 99 games.

Pirates' Ronny Simon: Healthy at Triple-A Indianapolis
Simon (shoulder) has reached base six times and stolen a base in his first two games with Triple-A Indianapolis.
Simon was slow-played during spring training after having left shoulder surgery last October, but he avoided the minor-league injured list. Slated to turn 26 in April, Simon is not on the 40-man roster but could get a look at some point if the Pirates are in need of a utility player.

Pirates' Ronny Simon: Eyeing late-March return to action
Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Monday that Simon (shoulder) is projected to return to game competition in late March or early April, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
According to Tomczyk, Simon is "doing very well" four-plus months after undergoing surgery on his left shoulder. The 25-year-old has been taking swings in the batting cage without restrictions so far in camp, and he's set to take another step forward next week, when he's scheduled to face live pitching in batting practice. However, because Simon won't be game-ready until late March, he would appear to be firmly out of the mix for a spot on the Pirates' Opening Day roster.

Pirates' Ronny Simon: Back with Bucs
Simon (shoulder) signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Thursday.
Simon was non-tendered by the Pirates in late November, but he's now back with the organization. He presumably has an invitation to spring training, though that wasn't specified in the contract details. Simon is recovering from labrum surgery but is expected to be cleared to return in March.

Ronny Simon: Non-tendered by Pirates
Simon (shoulder) was non-tendered by the Pirates on Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Simon made his big-league debut in 2025, first with the Marlins and then with the Pirates. He totaled 88 plate appearances, slashing .234/.299/.273. Simon is currently recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum, but he is expected to be cleared in early March.

Pirates' Ronny Simon: Designated for assignment
The Pirates designated Simon (shoulder) for assignment Tuesday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Simon appeared in 27 MLB games in 2025 between Miami and Pittsburgh, slashing just .234/.299/.273 across 88 plate appearances. He finished the Triple-A season with an .844 OPS over 308 plate appearances, however, which may be good enough for another team to bring him in via waiver claim.

Pirates' Ronny Simon: Moved to 60-day IL
The Pirates transferred Simon (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Hunter Barco. It was announced previously that Simon will undergo surgery in October to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder.

Pirates' Ronny Simon: Labrum surgery on tap
The Pirates announced Wednesday that Simon has been diagnosed with a torn labrum in his left shoulder and will undergo surgery in October once the bone heals, MLB.com reports.
Pittsburgh placed Simon on the shelf Aug. 30 with an injury the team initially labeled as a dislocated shoulder, but follow-up tests revealed that he was dealing with damage to his labrum. He'll miss the rest of the season, and assuming his upcoming surgery in October goes off without any complications, he's expected to be cleared for baseball activities in early March. Even so, the shoulder issue could make the 25-year-old Simon a non-tender candidate this offseason after he slashed a middling .234/.299/.273 over 88 big-league plate appearances with Miami and Pittsburgh in 2025.

Pirates' Ronny Simon: Lands on injured list
The Pirates placed Simon on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a dislocated left shoulder.
Simon suffered the injury on a slide into home plate during his return to the majors Friday, and he'll now need to wait at least 10 more days before getting another chance to suit up for the Pirates. Cam Devanney was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move to replenish Pittsburgh's infield depth.

Simon was removed from Friday's game against the Red Sox due to a left shoulder injury.

Pirates' Ronny Simon: Heading back to Pittsburgh
The Pirates recalled Simon from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.
Just three days after being sent down to Triple-A, Simon will reverse course and rejoin the Pirates to replace Jack Suwinski, who went on the IL with a groin injury. Simon has slashed .234/.299/.273 across 88 plate appearances in the majors between Miami and Pittsburgh this year and is likely to come off the bench most of the time while with the Pirates.

Simon went 2-for-5 with two runs scored Wednesday against the Brewers.
Simon was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis after Oneil Cruz (concussion) landed on the injured list.
