Andrelton Simmons is expected to have the cast removed from his right hand in one week.
Simmons has been on the disabled list since July 9 with a fractured fifth metacarpal. “I was hoping for no cast at all,” said Simmons. “But the doctor said we need one more week to make sure it gets calcified and stuff.” There’s still no timetable for his return to the major leagues.
