The Texas Rangers signed infielder Matt Duffy to a minor league deal on Thursday. The contract will be worth $1 million with another $1.5 million in incentives if he's on the major league roster. Duffy will be invited to spring training and will try to win a utility infield job. Duffy missed all of the 2017 season and once again struggled with injuries in 2019 with the Rays, playing in just 46 games while hitting an underwhelming .252/.343/.327 with a home run and 12 RBI. Even if he makes Texas'...

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy will hit fifth against left-handed starter Sean Manaea and the A's in the AL Wild Card play-in game. Duffy is trending in the right direction heading into postseason play, slashing .359/.458/.513 over his last 39 at-bats. He also has shown an ability to produce on the road, hitting .295 as opposed to .186 at Tropicana Field. Duffy provides little power and is a tough play as a fantasy asset for Wednesday but, for what it is worth, is 10-for-28 (.357) ...

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Duffy will get a routine day off here to rest, but should be back in the lineup next game. Joey Wendle will draw the start at third base and bat eighth versus righty Dylan Bundy. Wendle is not hitting well with the bat, so he can be avoided in DFS contests and fantasy leagues.

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Duffy was activated from the 10-day injured list earlier this week. He's basically just an AL-only option at the moment, but offers mixed league help if he gets regular playing time. Duffy will bat leadoff and play third base versus lefty Ryan Borucki. He'll be a decent DFS option for this one.

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz (foot) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Diaz fouled a ball off of his left foot Monday night against the Red Sox, and while the severity of his injury is not known at this time, the good news is that there is no structural damage. The Rays also activated Matt Duffy, and he should get the bulk of the starts at the hot corner with Diaz out. Duffy could prove very useful in AL-only formats and has the potential for more if he can get regular at-bat[...]

The Rays are wanting to see 25 to 30 comfortable at-bats out of Tampa Bay Rays infielder Matt Duffy at Triple-A before they give him the nod to come up. Hes up to 19 at-bats and should be in Tampa by the start of their next homestand. Duffy isnt a game-changer and will have to prove himself to earn consistent at-bats on a team with an already-crowded infield picture. There are RBI opportunities throughout this order, and he could be worth a DFS play against lefties when he's in the lineup. Only [...]

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy (hamstring) was scheduled to take batting practice with the Gulf Coast Rays and was also scheduled for four to five at-bats in a simulated game in Port Charlotte. Duffy has been out all season but could be an option for the Rays lineup sometime next month. The 28-year-old hit .294 in 132 games for Tampa in 2018 with four homers, 44 RBI, 59 runs and 12 stolen bases. He's injury-prone and likely won't have a role that gives him regular playing time consider[...]

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that infielder Matt Duffy (hamstring) got "fairly good news" from a hamstring specialist on Wednesday. He will not be shut down completely, but there is no set date for him to resume a rehab assignment. Duffy has yet to play this year and now will have to restart a rehab assignment before the Rays think about activating him. Now would be the time for him to be active in order to see at-bats with Yandy Diaz (hand) on the shelf. [...]
