Simpson is a 28-year-old right-hander who was drafted by the Giants in 2013 and spent his first six professional seasons with the club. He was released by San Francisco during the offseason and again by the Cubs in May.

Simpson reached Double-A with the Giants in 2018 and 2019. He holds a career 3.41 earned-run average through 121 minor league appearances, all of which have come out of the bullpen.

Boston now has 25 pitchers in its pool, including four who are currently off the 40-man roster. Simpson joins fellow right-handers Domingo Tapia and Robinson Leyer and left-hander Brian Johnson among that group.
