The Royals designated Duffey for assignment Friday. The right-hander was added to the Royals' roster in late April and posted a 5.00 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 10:8 K:BB over nine innings during his month in the majors. Duffey was removed from the 26-man and 40-man rosters to clear a spot for the return of Carlos Hernandez (shoulder).

Duffey (1-0) pitched a perfect inning and earned the win over the Angels on Friday. The Royals saved their offense for the ninth inning in a 2-1 win, and Duffey ended up benefiting after he prevented the Halos from adding to their lead in the eighth. He's kept runs off the board in four of his six major-league appearances this season. The right-hander has a 4.05 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB over 6.2 innings while adding one hold, though he's primarily served as a low-leverage option.

The 33-year-old made just one appearance in the majors in 2023 and wasn't great with the Twins in 2022, but Duffey holds a career 3.99 ERA and 301:85 K:BB across 284 innings as a reliever at the big-league level.
