    Rangers' Matt Duffy: Starts at third base

    Matt Duffy started at third base and went 0-for-2 with two walks in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Oakland.Duffy was added to the roster this week after the Texas Rangers placed Josh Jung (wrist) on the 10-day injured list and Ezequiel Duran landed on paternity leave. Those two transactions open up third base for the righty-hitting Duffy, who got the start against a lefty Wednesday, Josh Smith and Jonathan Ornelas.

    Rangers' Matt Duffy: Up from Triple-A

    The Texas Rangers selected Matt Duffy's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.With Josh Jung (wrist) out for the season and Ezequiel Duran (paternity) away from the team, Duffy will join the active roster to give the Rangers some help at third base for the final week of the season. The 33-year-old has spent the entire season in Triple-A, posting a .576 OPS across 216 plate appearances, so he shouldn't be expected to produce much on offense while with the Rangers.

    Matt Duffy: Heads to open market

    Matt Duffy opted out of his minor-league contract with the Rangers on Sunday and is set to become a free agent, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.Duffy's decision to opt out of his deal with the Rangers is likely an indication that the team informed him he wouldn't be included on the Opening Day roster. The 33-year-old posted a .696 OPS over 17 Cactus League games this spring after slashing .251/.306/.325 across 206 plate appearances at the big-league level with the Royals in 2023. Duffy saw action at all four infield spots last season, so he could have some appeal to a club looking for an experienced utility player to its roster ahead of Opening Day.

    Royals' Matt Duffy: Drives in two in win

    Matt Duffy went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Friday's 12-8 win over the Cardinals.Duffy didn't start the game, but he checked in at third base after Maikel Garcia (upper body) exited. After starting the year fairly well in a limited role, Duffy has been pretty quiet, batting .218 with a .530 OPS over 33 games since the start of June. He's at a .260/.314/.322 slash line with a home run, 10 RBI, 12 runs scored and six doubles through 159 plate appearances overall. If Garcia ends up on the injured list, Duffy or Matt Beaty would be most likely to pick up additional time at the hot corner.

    Royals' Matt Duffy: Three hits, three runs in win

    Matt Duffy went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a walk, one RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 11-8 win over the Angels.Duffy continues to make the most of limited playing time -- this was his third multi-hit effort of the season. The infielder has gone 6-for-15 (.400) over his last five games. For the season, he owns a .394/.412/.545 slash line with a home run, four RBI, four runs scored and a 1:6 BB:K across 34 plate appearances. Duffy's been used more as a reserve than a platoon option, starting five times against southpaws and four times against righties. With Michael Massey, Nicky Lopez and Hunter Dozier all scuffling, Duffy could see an uptick in playing time until his bat cools off.
