Duffy is not in Monday's lineup against the Mariners, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Duffy and Mike Brosseau are both right-handed, Brosseau has a more recent track record of crushing lefties, so he will get the start against southpaw Marco Gonzales. Duffy is hitting .260/.329/.312 with zero home runs and zero steals in 20 games this season.

Duffy went 3-for-4 in a loss to the Tigers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Duffy produced the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Rays, who were held to five hits overall. The veteran infielder has mostly hit the ground running after finally kicking off his season July 23, as he now has six multi-hit efforts and is slashing a solid .290/.355/.348 over his first 76 plate appearances.

Duffy went 4-for-4 with three RBI from a pair of run-scoring singles and also drew a walk in a win over the Padres on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Duffy's perfect night at the plate pushed his average to .298 and served as his second multi-hit effort over the last three games. The veteran infielder is making good use of his opportunities after enduring another extended battle with nagging injuries, and with Yandy Diaz (foot) projected out for the remainder of the season, Duffy's playing time at third base should be locked in.

Duffy is not in Sunday's lineup against the Mariners, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

He is hitting .245/.310/.345 with zero home runs and zero steals in 53 at-bats this season. Mike Brosseau will start at third base and hit sixth.

Duffy went 2-for-3 with a double and a run in a win over the Mariners on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Duffy laced his fourth double of the season -- his first extra-base hit since July 30 -- off Marco Gonzales in the win. The veteran infielder has yet to go deep since finally making his season debut July 23, but he's hitting a solid .265 over the first 12 games in which he's recorded at least one official at-bat.

Duffy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Duffy will cede third base duties to Mike Brosseau as the Rays wrap up their series with Toronto. The two will likely continue to share time at the hot corner until the Rays return Yandy Diaz (foot) from the 10-day injured list.

Duffy is not in the lineup Monday against Toronto, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duffy started 10 straight games since returning from a hamstring injury, posting a mediocre .238/.304/.310 line at the plate. Mike Brosseau will handle the hot corner in his absence.

Duffy will start at third base and bat leadoff Sunday against the Marlins, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rays appear to have at least temporarily committed to Duffy as their main leadoff option against left-handed pitching, as he'll hit atop the lineup for the team's third straight matchup versus a southpaw (Caleb Smith). Duffy has also seen steady action against right-handed pitching over the past two weeks and should be a fixture in the starting nine until the Rays return Yandy Diaz (foot) from the 10-day injured list.

Duffy, who went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a walk in a win over the Blue Jays on Sunday, is 6-for-21 with two doubles, two RBI and two walks over his first five games since making his season debut July 23.

EDGE Analysis

The oft-injured veteran has been thrust right into an everyday opportunity at third base with Yandy Diaz (foot) on the injured list. That he's been able to display solid timing at the plate after such a delayed season debut is certainly encouraging, and Duffy is making a strong early case to force manager Kevin Cash's hand to continue affording him steady playing time even when Diaz returns to health.

Duffy will start at third base and bat sixth Sunday against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rays haven't hesitated to usher Duffy back into the mix after he returned from the 60-day injured list Tuesday. He'll make his fifth consecutive start Sunday and looks poised to serve as the Rays' primary third baseman until Yandy Diaz (foot) makes it back from the IL.
