Duffy: Dealing with Achilles is 'learning process'

BOSTON -- Monitoring the condition of Matt Duffy's Achilles will be a day-to-day thing for the Rays for the remainder of the season.

Rays manager Kevin Cash has tried to give the team's new shortstop a day off about every fifth day just to make sure that his left Achilles remains healthy going into the offseason.

Duffy came to the Rays in the non-waiver Trade Deadline deal that sent Matt Moore to the Giants. Duffy was on the disabled list at the time with a strained left Achilles.

"We're kind of all learning with it, understanding what it can take," Duffy said.
