Simmons is out of the lineup Sunday against the Phillies.

Analysis:

Simmons has made 144 starts at shortstop for the Braves this season, but manager Fredi Gonzalez will give the 25-year-old a day off in favor of Phil Gosselin on Sunday afternoon. With the Braves out of the playoff chase, Simmons is one of several regulars sitting out Sunday's season finale.
