Dodgers News: Danny Duffy Suffers Setback, Unlikely to Pitch This Season

It’s been almost 13 months since the Dodgers traded for Royals pitcher Danny Duffy at the 2021 trade deadline, and Duffy has yet to throw a pitch for this team.

As Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports, that’s not going to change any time soon.

Danny Duffy felt some discomfort when facing hitters in a recent live session, Dave Roberts said. “Pretty unlikely” he makes it back as an option this season.

When the Dodgers acquired Duffy, they hoped to have him for September and October last year. That didn’t happen, and Duffy’s flexor strain eventually required surgery.
