Duffey allowed four runs while striking out eight and walking two across 5.2 innings Sunday versus the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.
Duffey's undoing came via the long-ball Sunday, as all four runs he allowed came from home runs, although it was his first time this year allowing multiple balls to leave the yard. Duffey's 7.94 ERA over his last four starts has seen his seasonal mark balloon to 4.79, although his 8.42 K/9 has been a pleasant surprise. Regardless, Duffey will need to pick it up if he wishes to remain in the starting rotation and will have the opportunity to do so Saturday at the Red Sox.
