Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy (shoulder), who suffered another shoulder impingement in his start on Tuesday, said he thinks that he will be shut down for the rest of the season. It's a valid assumption, as the Royals have nothing to play for and haven't for a while.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy (shoulder) left his start early on Tuesday with another left shoulder impingement. Not only was he injured, but Duffy allowed three earned runs and four hits (one homer) in just two-thirds of an inning before departing.
