Rangers Claim Matt Duffy From Astros

By Mark Polishuk | July 23, 2016 at 2:42pm CDT

The Rangers have claimed infielder Matt Duffy off waivers from the Astros, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports (Twitter link).  Houston designated the infielder (who isn’t to be confused with the better-known Giants third baseman of the same name) for assignment last week.  Texas has optioned Duffy to Triple-A.

[Related: updated Rangers depth chart at Roster Resource]

Duffy’s MLB career consists of 11 games for the Astros over the last two seasons and 12 career plate appearances.  A 20th-round pick in the 2011 draft, Duffy has a very solid .286/.360/.458 slash line over 2794 career PA in the minors.  Duffy has played mostly third base over his career with significant time across the diamond at first, though this season he also saw action at short and left for Houston’s Triple-A affiliate.

    Duffy was the PCL MVP last year. He didn’t have a place in Houston, but I wish they could have gotten something for him.

      Nah, probably just a minor-league depth “Hello, ‘other’ Matt Duffy.”
