KC Royals starter Danny Duffy went on the Injured List in mid-May with a left flexor strain, an injury sometimes considered to be a potential prelude to Tommy John surgery. He returned in late June and pitched well.
But he landed on the IL again this month and remains there with another left flexor strain.
Through it all, the 10-year major league veteran has been the Royals’ most consistent starter, with a 4-3, 2.51 ERA record that reflects some of the best work of his career.
Now, despite his injury status, Danny Duffy is reportedly headed West to become a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
