Duffy went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
He had a big series against Toronto, going 4-for-11 with two doubles, two runs scored and four RBI. Duffy hasn't made much of an impact with the bat since coming over to Tampa Bay but he may be starting to find his stroke.

Duffy is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duffy will get a scheduled day off, as the Rays go with Tim Beckham at shortstop and Brad Miller as the DH on Wednesday. Duffy is hitting .270 with three RBI in 63 at-bats since coming over from San Francisco.

Duffy went 2-for-4 with a double in Thursday's 2-1 victory over the Red Sox, bringing his line to date in a Rays uniform to .357/.386/.381.
EDGE Analysis
The recently acquired shortstop, who'd endured a sluggish campaign before his trade deadline move from the Giants, has found new life in his bat in Tampa. Duffy has now raised his average 18 points since his Aug. 12 debut in a Rays uniform, going 15-for-42 over that span. While there hasn't been much impactful contact-- as evidenced by the fact that his Thursday two-bagger was the first extra-base hit of his Rays tenure-- Duffy is certainly making meaningful contributions in an offense that has often been starved for production this season.

Duffy is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox, Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rays will opt to give Duffy the night off and start Tim Beckham at shortstop for their contest against Clay Buchholz and the Red Sox. Duffy, who's hitting just .262 for the year, has had success at the plate lately and is 7-for-20 (.350) over the last seven games.

Duffy (Achilles) is back in the lineup Friday against the Rangers, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rays were adamant that Duffy's setback was minor and it appears that was indeed the case, as the 25-year-old's set to return after just a one-game absence. Duffy has hit safely in all five games he's played with Tampa Bay since coming over from San Francisco, although not one of his seven hits with the Rays has gone for extra bases.

Duffy (Achilles) is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Padres, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duffy departed Tuesday's game due to mild soreness in his left Achilles, and he'll be held out Wednesday, likely as a precaution. The infielder missed nearly two months earlier in the season with an Achilles issue, though Duffy said Wednesday that he's "not concerned" about this latest setback.

Duffy left Tuesday's game with mild left Achilles soreness, Steve Carney of 620 AM Tampa Bay reports.
EDGE Analysis
Indeed it was a setback with the Achilles that forced Duffy from Tuesday's game. The team is saying his removal was strictly precautionary but Duffy just returned last weekend after missing close to two months with an Achilles injury, so it may be a little difficult for some to take the Rays at their word.

Duffy was lifted from Tuesday's game against the Padres after three innings.
EDGE Analysis
Tim Beckham assumed Duffy's spot at shortstop for the top of the fourth after Duffy singled twice in his two trips to the plate (one of the infield variety). Duffy was just activated from the DL last Friday following a nearly two-month stay on the DL due to an Achilles injury.

Duffy is playing shortstop and batting second Friday against the Yankees, Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Friday's debut with the Rays against CC Sabathia and the Yankees will be Duffy's first MLB contest since he was injured June 19. During three rehab games at Triple-A Durham, Duffy went 2-for-11 with two strikeouts.

Duffy has been activated by the Rays on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Duffy, who has been on the DL since June 20, will make his Rays debut this weekend against Yankees. Duffy was traded to Tampa Bay in the deal that sent Matt Moore to the Giants. On the season, Duffy was hitting .253/.313/.358 in 257 at-bats with the Giants. The 25-year-old will most likely play first base for the time being with Logan Morrison currently on the 15-day DL.
