Duffy stresses health in first workout at Trop

ST. PETERSBURG -- Matt Duffy worked out at Tropicana Field on Wednesday, two days after the Rays acquired him in the trade that sent Matt Moore to the Giants.

Duffy, who is on the disabled list with a left Achilles strain, hit and fielded ground balls at shortstop, the position he will play for the Rays.

"It was really good to meet him," Rays manager Kevin Cash said. "We've heard a ton of good things about him. We're excited to get him back and playing for us here soon."

Duffy arrived to the Tampa Bay area on Tuesday night.
