Royals Place Danny Duffy On 10-Day IL

By Connor Byrne | May 18, 2021 at 3:53pm CDT

MAY 18: Duffy told Lynn Worthy of the Kansas City Star and other reporters that he has a Grade 1 strain. He doesn’t expect to miss much time.

MAY 17: The Royals have placed southpaw Danny Duffy on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 14) with a left forearm flexor strain, Anne Rogers of MLB.com tweets. They’ll make a corresponding roster move Tuesday.

Whenever the phrase “forearm flexor strain” is used regarding a pitcher, it’s unsettling. So, the Royals can only hope this doesn’t make for a long absence or even Tommy John surgery for Duffy, who has been excellent this season. The 32-year-old has posted an elite 1.94 ERA with a 28.2 percent strikeout rate against a 7.1 percent walk rate over seven starts and 41 2/3 innings.

Duffy is in the final season of his contract, making this year all the more important for him. He’ll close out a five-year, $65MM deal when the season concludes. A Royal since they drafted him in Round 3 in 2007, Duffy owns a 3.95 ERA in 1,153 innings dating back to his 2011 debut.

    Taijuan Walker left the Mets game with an injury after three innings.

    Someone just tweeted these stats. Scary. Lots of soft tissue stuff. Gotta think this continues as the 2021 season moves on. MLB needs to figure this out.

    Players sent to the non-COVID IL between day two and day 47 of the season:

    2018 – 117
    2019 – 115
    2021 – 241

      That’s insane. I suspect a lot of players didn’t train over the winter, and last year they only played a small fraction of a season. I saw something on MLB Network this morning, discussing the same thing. I do subscribe to some of what was said, players are bigger and more muscular now than ever, and it leads to a lot of these injuries. That, and players used to play hurt, teams would tell them to suck it up, or the player was just a gamer that wasn’t coming out for any reason. I’ve never seen so many muscle pulls like this, never mind the more serious injuries. It goes with TJS, the league needs to do further research, figure out a way to stop this. Keep going like this, and we’ll never see the workhorse starter again that has a 20 year career. Is it overthrowing, playing year round baseball as a youth, throwing breaking balls way too soon in development?

        During yesterday’s Mets game, Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling pointed out that, over the past year, players have spent more time working out on their own than playing in games. They feel this has led to this year’s alarming uptick in injuries. Pandemic-related, obviously, but MLB should have anticipated this. Fans did. Not to toot my own horn (okay, maybe a little), but over the winter I posted that 2021 was going to be the year of the injury in MLB. And we are just getting started. I’ve seriously considered taking a couple of months off from watching baseball. Injury fatigue. Seeing Albert Pujols bat cleanup for the Dodgers may have been my tipping point. That doesn’t happen if not for this injury epidemic.

    It actually COULD just be a flexor strain…

      A mild strain of the muscle would be a great Dx, compared to a mild tear of the UCL.
