Danny Duffy Fantasy Stats

Texas Rangers veteran left-hander Danny Duffy is a bona-fide contender to make the Opening Day roster and is being evaluated for the fifth starting rotation spot in spring training, alongside fellow lefty Cody Bradford and at least six other pitchers. The 35-year-old southpaw has had three straight injury-plagued seasons, including last year with the Rangers on a minor-league deal, but he didn't allow a run in 15 2/3 innings in the Puerto Rican winter league. If he doesn't make the rotation, he'll be happy to work in a multi-inning relief role. Duffy said he hasn't felt as good as he does now since May of 2021, when he had a 2.51 ERA after 13 games before his elbow started barking. He has experience, but if he is pitching in the majors in 2024 for Texas, he'll be a very risky fantasy option in AL-only leagues.

The Texas Rangers re-signed left-hander Danny Duffy to a minor-league deal with an invitation to major-league spring training on Monday. In addition to Duffy, the Rangers also signed catcher Jose Godoy and left-hander Chasen Shreve. The 35-year-old Duffy didn't appear in the big leagues with the World Series champions in 2023, instead going 2-2 with a 3.28 ERA and 1.63 WHIP with 29 walks and 42 strikeouts in 35 2/3 innings over 28 relief appearances for Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock after 11 years as a starter for the Kansas City Royals. Injuries have kept him from appearing in the majors since 2021, so he hasn't been anywhere near the fantasy radar.

The Texas Rangers signed free-agent outfielder Clint Frazier and left-hander Danny Duffy to minor-league deals on Friday. Once a top prospect for the Cleveland Guardians, Frazier spent the 2022 season with the Chicago Cubs and hit just .216 with a .653 OPS and no home runs in 19 games. Staying healthy has always been a big issue -- he's never played in more than 69 major-league games in a single season -- and he has a career slash line of .238/.329/.427 with a .756 OPS, 29 home runs and 98 RBI in six big-league seasons. Duffy had a left forearm injury that kept him from pitching in 2022. In his 11 major-league seasons with the Kansas City Royals, he has a 3.95 ERA (4.17 FIP), 1.32 WHIP and 21.1 percent strikeout rate in 234 outings (204 starts). Frazier and Duffy will provide some nice veteran depth if they can stay healthy in 2023.

According to Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, left-handed pitcher Danny Duffy (forearm) had a setback while throwing live batting practice sessions recently. Roberts stated that Duffy is "pretty unlikely" to pitch this season as a result of the setback. The 33-year-old was traded to the Dodgers last season but was unable to contribute while rehabilitating a flexor tendon strain. He then went on to have surgery on his flexor tendon this past offseason. He signed a one-year deal with the Dodgers prior to the 2022 campaign, and there's a one-year club option for 2023 attached to the deal as well.

Starting Pitcher Danny Duffy and the Los Angeles Dodgers have come to terms on a one-year deal, pending a physical, according to Fabian Ardaya. Duffy was acquired by the Dodgers from the Royals last season, but Duffy was never able to suit up for them due to an elbow injury. Duffy posted a 2.51 ERA with 65 strikeouts across 61 innings pitched for the Royals in 2021 and makes for an intriguing late-round selection in 2022.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Danny Duffy (elbow) is unlikely to pitch again in 2021, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Manager Dave Roberts said that Duffy had started a bullpen session on Friday, but was unable to complete it as his elbow continued to bother him. Duffy has yet to make an appearance with Los Angeles since being acquired from Kansas City, as he is 4-3 with a 2.51 ERA, 1.213 WHIP and 25.8 percent strikeout rate over 61 innings with the Royals. It was already unlikely he would have much value over this final stretch of the season, but any managers that were stashing him on the IL can safely drop him now.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Danny Duffy (forearm) will be used as a multi-inning reliever once activated from the 60-day injured list, per manager Dave Roberts. He won't be eligible to return until September 15. The southpaw has been sidelined since mid-July with a left flexor strain. Duffy has been effective as both a starter and reliever in 2021, owning a 2.51 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and a 65:22 K:BB across 61 innings in 2021. The 32-year-old is worth stashing in league formats with an IL spot and will help fantasy managers in ratios and strikeouts once he returns to action.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy is on the verge of being traded to the Dodgers, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB Network. Feinsand reports that while Duffy has 10-5 rights, he is expected to approve a trade to the Dodgers. The Royals are expected to receive a player to be named later to complete this deal. Duffy is 4-3 with a 2.51 ERA, 1.213 WHIP and 25.8 percent strikeout rate over 61 innings of work this season. He landed on the injured list just over a week ago with a flexor strain in his forearm, but he is expected to return by the end of August. Duffy will be a pitcher that managers want to consider acquiring and stashing, as he will assuredly get a boost in value playing in Los Angeles.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy (forearm) is expected to return from the injured list in three to four weeks if he doesn't suffer any setbacks, Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. Duffy landed on the IL with a flexor strain in his pitching arm. The 32-year-old lefty has been solid when healthy, going 4-3 with a 2.51 ERA through 13 games and 12 starts. He has been in the midst of trade rumors and could still be on the move even if he is on the IL, so look for him to return in late August regardless of what team he's on.

The San Francisco Giants are interested in acquiring Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy (forearm), according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Duffy is currently on the injured list with a flexor strain, but a deal could still occur while Duffy is out, according to Slusser. Duffy has had a solid season overall. Through 13 games and 12 starts this year, he is 4-3 with a 2.51 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. His name has been coming up as a potential trade target for other teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers as well.
