BALLER MOVE:Add in 12+ Team LeaguesROSTERED IN: 26% of leaguesANALYSIS:Danny Duffy has put in a ton of work for the Royals over the years as both a starter and occasional reliever, and after a couple of seasons where he appeared to be losing his touch, Duffy is back to some good old Danny Duffy business and, from a Fantasy Baseball perspective, might be looking better than ever. Through his first seven starts, the World Baseball Classic alum has netted a 4.11 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9, and a ...

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy (forearm) is currently dealing with forearm tightness and is likely to miss his next start, which had been scheduled for Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Early indications make it sound as if Jakob Junis (back) could be activated off the Injured List to start the game, or at least serve as the primary pitcher, in his place. Duffy had been pitching well lately, with a 3.15 ERA through four starts in August. Hopefully he'll be able to ...

Kansas City Royals pitcher Danny Duffy turned in a solid outing on Friday against the Minnesota Twins, earning his second win to improve to 2-2 on the year. Duffy pitched five innings and allowed four hits, two walks and one earned run while striking out six. Through four starts in August, he has a 3.15 ERA with 10.8 K/9. Duffy has made some major strides in the strikeout department throughout the season with a strikeout rate of 28.3%, well above his 2019 clip of 20.7%. He's also allowed a ...

Kansas City Royals pitcher Danny Duffy earned his first win of the season on Saturday against the Minnesota Twins. Pitching in the second game of a double-header, Duffy went five innings, allowing two hits, one walk and two runs (one earned) while striking out eight. Duffy's gone at least five innings in three of his past four starts now and he's averaging 10.4 K/9 over the year. Only owned in about 10% of fantasy leagues right now, Duffy is well worth rostering in deep leagues and even more ...

Kansas City Royals pitcher Danny Duffy was tagged with the loss against the Chicago Cubs on Monday, but he had his best start of the year so far in the game. Duffy went six innings and allowed three hits, four walks and one earned run while striking out six. It was Duffy's first quality start of the year and the first time he'd made it past the fifth inning. He threw 103 pitches in the game, far more than his previous season-high of 75. He'll be a bit up-and-down throughout the season overall, ...

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy was tagged for four earned runs over five innings in Wednesday's start against the Detroit Tigers. He pounded the strike zone in the start, recording strikes on 54 of his 75 pitches. He tallied eight strikeouts and just one walk in the game. Duffy is yet to make it past the fifth inning through two starts this year, which isn't too surprising. He's always struggled to manage his pitch count even when he's been his most effective. Still, he's a ...

Kansas City Royals pitcher Danny Duffy had a shaky 2020 debut against the Cleveland Indians. Duffy lasted just 4 1/3 innings and allowed three hits and two earned runs while recording only two strikeouts. He was tagged with the loss in the game. The damage against Duffy wasn't horrible and he didn't allow any walks in the game, which is promising. Still, we'd like to see more from him next time out. He should be held onto in all leagues, especially because his next start is scheduled for July ...

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy was on it on Saturday when he went four innings against the Reds. Duffy struck out six and only allowed one hit during his longest outing of the spring, and the good results this spring have given the team a lot of hope for Duffy coming into the season. Duffy has struggled a bit over the last three seasons, but if he can return to form, he's only 31 years old. Currently projected to be the team's No. 2 starter behind Brad Keller, a man who has ...

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy made his spring debut on Sunday, and he welcomed an impressive bit of good news afterward. Duffy was informed by reporters that he was already hitting 93 MPH on his fastball and touched 87 MPH on his slider. That's faster than ever for his slider, and Duffy averaged just 92.4 MPH on his fastball last year, so hitting that number before any spring training work was a shock. If Duffy can stay healthy and carry those numbers over to the regular ...

Danny Duffy has had hot streaks throughout his career in which he's looked like he could be on the verge of a breakout. While not the picture of health, he's made at least 23 starts in every year since 2014, and through 2017 he had kept his ERA fairly respectable every season. Unfortunately, Duffy has regressed severely in the last two years in most metrics. One of Duffy's calling cards used to be keeping the ball in the ballpark, and that went out the window in 2018/2019; he registered 1.34 ...
