Duffy was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's spring game due to soreness in his hamstring, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.

EDGE Analysis

Duffy did not appear in a spring game before Thursday because of a hamstring injury, and it appears the setback remains an issue, as he is not feeling good enough to play despite taking Friday off. Duffy was set to lead off in a split-squad game Saturday, but Yandy Diaz will now occupy that role instead.

Duffy (hamstring) is starting at third base and hitting sixth Thursday against the Twins, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Duffy is ready to make his Grapefruit League debut after clearing his final base-running hurdle Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, the third baseman should have no problem getting up to speed before the start of the season.

Manager Kevin Cash said that Duffy (hamstring) will likely make his Grapefruit League debut Thursday versus the Twins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE, Duffy took part in rundown drills Wednesday and looked to be sprinting at full speed. Assuming he arrives at camp Thursday without his hamstring presenting any issues, Duffy should check into the lineup, though the Rays could restrict him to a designated-hitter role rather than his normal duties at third base.

Duffy relayed Tuesday that his injured hamstring is "feeling good" and said he expects to play in a Grapefruit League game at some point before the end of the week, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duffy is scheduled to run the bases Tuesday and Wednesday, after which the Rays should hone in on a target date for his return to the lineup. Unless he experiences a setback this week, Duffy is on track to earn enough at-bats during the spring to secure his spot as the Rays' everyday third baseman once the regular season arrives.

Manager Kevin Cash said there is no set date for Duffy's (hamstring) Grapefruit League debut, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cash noted that Duffy is "chomping at the bit" to play, but the team is playing it safe and taking it slow with the infielder given how early it is in camp. He's already been ruled out through Tuesday. Duffy's current injury doesn't appear to be overly concerning at this point, but his status will be worth monitoring throughout camp.

Duffy (hamstring) isn't listed in the lineup or as an available option off the bench for the Rays' Grapefruit League games Monday versus the Marlins and Tuesday versus the Orioles, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A prior report suggested that Duffy could be cleared to make his spring debut as soon as Tuesday, but the Rays have evidently decided to err on the side of caution with the infielder, who has been plagued by lower-body injuries for the past three seasons. Though Duffy's latest setback on the health front doesn't appear to be overly concerning at this stage, those planning on investing him in deeper mixed leagues or AL-only formats would surely like to see him get some at-bats in sooner rather than later.

Duffy (hamstring) could make his spring debut Tuesday against the Orioles, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duffy tweaked his hamstring early in spring training, though the issue isn't expected to be a significant one. A Tuesday return would see him miss the first four games of Grapefruit League action but still leave him more than enough time to build up for Opening Day.

Duffy will miss a few days of spring training action after tweaking his hamstring, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how the injury was incurred, but the team is confident the injury is minor. Duffy will likely miss the first few spring games before resuming his normal role as the Rays' starting third baseman once his hamstring stops acting up. In the meantime, Yandy Diaz may see a bit more time at the hot corner, allowing Ji-Man Choi to log some innings at first base to fill the void.

Duffy signed a one-year, $2.675 million contract with the Rays on Friday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duffy played in 132 games last season and slahed .294/.361/.366 but hit only four home runs, and featured an abysmal .071 ISO. The 27-year-old saw all of his time in the field at third base, and his limited power severely hampers the fantasy appeal of his solid average and on-base numbers.

Duffy (quadriceps) is not expected to return for Sunday's season finale against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duffy has been out of the lineup the last three days after leaving Wednesday's game with right quad soreness. The severity of the injury is not fully known, but it makes sense for the Rays to remain cautious with the team already eliminated from playoff contention. Assuming his season is over, Duffy finishes with a .294/.361/.366 slash line with four home runs and 12 stolen bases in 132 games.
