Ned Yost confirmed today that starting pitcher Danny Duffy will be shut down for the year after exiting Tuesday’s game against the Indians in the first inning with discomfort. Duffy was diagnosed with left shoulder impingement, and it didn’t make sense to continue to treat the injury to keep him on the mound this season.
Ned confirmed that Danny Duffy is done for the season. Duffy can’t have another anti-inflammatory shot this soon so makes sense to shut him down. Ned also said he may stick with 6-man rotation and give either Skoglund or Sparkman some starts.
