Royals Rumblings - News for August 13, 2018
Danny Duffy may miss his next start after getting an anti-inflammatory shot.
Duffy has played through stiffness in his shoulder for weeks. He anticipates continuing to do so, adamant the problem isn’t worrisome enough to warrant extended time off. The Royals will determine after his next bullpen session whether or not Duffy can make his scheduled start in Thursday’s series finale against the Blue Jays.
Manager Ned Yost said on Sunday the stiffness in Duffy’s left shoulder surfaced four starts ago, when Duffy allowed the Tigers to score seven earned runs in 5 2/3 innings on July 25 at Kauffman Stadium.
