Duffy is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Chalk this up as a routine day of rest for Duffy, who will be held out of the lineup for the first time since May 4. Conor Gillaspie will take over at the hot corner for the afternoon contest.

Duffy collected three hits and stole a base during Wednesday's 5-4 win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Hitting third in the order, Duffy ended a three-game hitless drought. The young infielder started the season hot but has cooled since then. His .261 average is below his career .285 number, but he looks to be an important part of San Francisco's offense. The stolen base was his fourth of the season, putting him on pace to pass his career mark of 12 set last season.

Duffy went 2-for-5 with the game-winning double in a 2-1 victory over the Rockies on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants third baseman is on a nice streak at the moment, but he has been wildly inconsistent to begin the year. He is 7-for-14 (.500) in the last three games, but he was 0-for-10 in the previous three games. In the middle of April, Duffy went through a 0-for-13 stretch, but followed that up with three straight multi-hit games. Until he shows more consistency at the plate, it's hard for fantasy owners to count on him night in and night out.

Duffy went 3-for-5 with a double and a pair of runs scored in Thursday's 17-7 loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Duffy has gotten off to an inconsistent start in 2016, regularly alternating multi-hit performances with empty stat lines. For example, Thursday's three-hit game followed up an 0-for-10 cold spell. He simply isn't providing enough value at third base outside of deep and NL-only leagues. It may be wise to look at more productive options in standard leagues until he shows more consistency at the plate.

Duffy is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
It's only the second day off of the season for Duffy, who's hitting .241 with a pair of homers and nine RBI as the everyday third baseman. He'll be replaced Wednesday by Conor Gillaspie, who will hit sixth in the order.

Duffy went 3-for-4 with three runs scored as he continued to hit third against the Padres on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
After starting the season off with a bang (two homers in three games), Duffy has fallen into a prolonged cold streak. Manager Bruce Bochy tried to wake his bat by moving Duffy to third in the order on April 22. Since that time, he is batting .333 with a pair of three-hit games including Wednesday's. His .288 BABIP is still about 50 points lower than last year's and his 28.0 LD% is actually higher than last year's (20.9 LD%), so his batting average should continue to climb.

Duffy was moved back to the three-hole and went 0-for-4 with an RBI in the 8-1 win over Miami on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Bruce Bochy wanted to move Duffy back to third in the lineup (where he batted last year) in order to shake things up for a Giants club that had lost seven of their last eight games. This obviously didn't work out for Duffy personally, as he failed to collect a hit after getting multiple hits over his last three contests. Overall, the change helped spark the club, as they put up an eight spot Friday. Duffy should continue bat third for the immediate future, which is prime real estate for accruing counting stats.

Duffy went 2-for-4, smacking a pair of doubles in Wednesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
After hitting two home runs in his first three games this season, Duffy has been mired in a sophomore slump (.217/.254/.383). He managed to end an 0-for-13 skid with a pair of singles Tuesday, but he had a couple of more authoritative hits Wednesday, indicating that he may finally be heating up at the plate.

Duffy is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Amy Gutierrez of CSN Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duffy will receive his first respite of the season, yielding third base to Kelby Tomlinson. When he returns to action Tuesday, Duffy will hope that the day off aids in elevating him above the Mendoza Line, as he's currently slashing .173/.204/.327.

Duffy's only hit in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers went for a solo shot.
EDGE Analysis
Duffy is flashing power early after coming out of nowhere to finish second in the NL Rookie of the Year voting in 2015. Fantasy owners were wondering if he could repeat last year's success given his lack of pedigree (never hit more than nine home runs in the minors). Duffy has put those questions to rest early on, smashing two homers in his first three games with Wednesday's ball traveling a career-high 424 feet. He could end up being a great value this season considering where he was going in drafts.
