This was expected after his 2016 season ended due to shoulder surgery. He posted a 9.36 ERA and 2.05 WHIP in 2016, so he will have to show that he has recovered his skill set to get much of a offer in free agency this winter.

Simon suffered a setback in his shoulder in the past couple of days, and as a result, he will be sidelined for the rest of the year. He's battled a number of different shoulder problems this season, so his injury prognosis shouldn't be a surprise. He ended up making 15 appearances with the Reds and posted a putrid 9.36 ERA.

Simon has been absolutely atrocious this season and has no impact on any fantasy format.

Simon was moved to the bullpen earlier in the week due to his struggles in the rotation. He's got a 9.45 ERA in 53.1 innings this season, so maybe this explains some of his ineffectiveness. He shouldn't be owned anywhere, and it seems like a trip to the disabled list is an inevitability at this point.
