As long as he's healthy, executives think that Kansas City Royals left-hander Danny Duffy will likely be traded in the next few weeks. Duffy missed more than a month from May to June with a forearm strain, but he has since returned from the injured list to make four short starts and one relief appearance. However, the southpaw is still owed around $7 million of the $15.5 million he is due in the final year of his five-year contract. Duffy has also gained 10-and-5 rights, so he'll be allowed to ...

He pitched five innings and allowed four hits, three walks and one earned run while striking out five. The only run he allowed came on a solo home run from Bobby Bradley in the fourth inning. He was in line for the win before the Royals' bullpen crumbled and the Indians went on to win 7-4. This was Duffy's best and longest outing since his return from the injured list in late June. ...

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy had trouble limiting baserunners in his start against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. Duffy pitched four innings and allowed six hits, two walks and two earned runs while striking out two.

Saturday's outing was his longest since his return as he'd thrown a combined 6.1 innings over his previous three appearances, one of which came in ...

Duffy pitched 3 1/3 innings and allowed five hits, one walk and four earned runs while striking out two. He gave up a total of three home runs in the game. It was a surprising development as Duffy had been doing great at limiting home runs this season. Going into Monday's action, he'd surrendered just two home runs over 44.2 innings on the year. Duffy wound up ...

Kansas City Royals left-hander Danny Duffy, who will start against the Boston Red Sox on Monday night, is one trade option for the San Diego Padres as they evaluate rotation upgrades at the trade deadline in July. Duffy is a pending free agent after this season and recently missed more than a month with a left forearm flexor strain. The 32-year-old southpaw threw only two innings in his start last Wednesday against the New York Yankees and tossed an inning of relief on Friday, so the Royals are ...

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy (forearm) has been activated from the injured list and he is set to start Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. Duffy has been out since May 12 while dealing with a left forearm flexor strain. He was off to a phenomenal start to the year before the injury.

Kansas City Royals left-hander Danny Duffy (forearm) will be activated from the injured list on Wednesday in order to make the start against the New York Yankees. Duffy has been sidelined since May 12 with a left forearm flexor strain, so even though he's sporting an excellent 1.94 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 48 strikeouts in 41 2/3 innings over seven innings, he'll be a pretty risky fantasy option in his start against the Bronx Bombers on Wednesday. The 32-year-old southpaw will most likely be on a ...

Kansas City Royals pitcher Danny Duffy is progressing well in recovery from a left forearm flexor strain. Duffy was placed on the 10-day injury list in mid-May. On Tuesday, the left-handed hurler was throwing from 90 feet. He has recorded a 4-3 record and a 1.94 ERA. Through seven contests, Duffy has pitched in 31 2/3 frames. Fantasy Managers should know there is no time frame when the Kansas City pitcher will return to the Royals pitching staff.

And the injuries just keep on piling up. As I'm wrapping this article up on Monday night, we've seen today alone Mike Trout exit with a calf strain, Taijuan Walker exit with side tightness, Kevin Pillar was hit in the face by a pitch, and Danny Duffy, Giancarlo Stanton, Jeff McNeil, Michael Conforto and Huascar Ynoa all landed on the injured list.But while it's rough watching your fantasy roster slowly turn into the All-IL squad, injuries can oftentimes lead to opportunities for prospects to ...

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 14. This came basically out of nowhere, but Duffy was slumping after two straight below average starts. Duffy has a 1.94 ERA and 48/12 K/BB this season, so fantasy managers should hold him in all fantasy formats. The team hasn't announced who will replace him in the rotation. This is certainly a big blow to the Royals and the team is calling it a left flexor strain. Hopefully, ...
