Dodgers: Deadline Acquisition Danny Duffy ‘A Ways Away’ from Return
Those anticipating the debut of left-handed pitcher Danny Duffy in a Dodgers uniform will have to continue exercising patience as club manager Dave Roberts said their newly acquired arm is still a couple weeks away from live action.
“I think he is a ways away,” Roberts said when asked about Duffy’s status on Tuesday. “And I say that it’s a couple weeks.”

Duffy, who was acquired from the Kansas City Royals at the trade deadline, is dealing with a left flexor strain that has kept him sidelined since mid-May.
Roberts said Duffy is progressively working his way back and playing catch from somewhere between 90 and 120 feet.
