Duffy hasn't seen the field since exiting Wednesday's game with right quad tightness. The severity of the issue remains unclear, and the Rays could just be playing it safe through Sunday's season finale since they're already eliminated from playoff contention. Andrew Velazquez will start at third base and bat ninth Saturday.

Duffy (quadriceps) is not in the lineup against the Yankees on Thursday, Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duffy exited Wednesday's contest with right quad tightness and will require some additional time off before returning to the lineup.

In his absence, Joey Wendle will start at third base while Brandon Lowe gets the nod at second.
