Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy(shoulder) is expected to throw approximately 50 pitches in Arizona Tuesday. His outing will take place in a minor league game as he recovers from shoulder tightness that forced him to begin the new season on the injured list. The 30-year-old is coming off a 2018 season that saw him go 8-12 with a 4.88 ERA. This is an encouraging step as Duffy recovers from his injury. If the minor league outing goes well, his return could then be imminent.
