Not in Wednesday's lineup Duffy (face) isn't starting Wednesday against the Rangers, Arianna Vedia of MLB.com reports.

Impact Duffy exited Tuesday's matchup against Texas due to a facial laceration, and he won't be in the lineup a day later. Whether he's available off the bench remains to be seen, but he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Leaves early Tuesday Duffy was removed from Tuesday's win over the Angels with a facial laceration after colliding with Adolis Garcia during the eighth inning, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Regist...

Impact Duffy was apparently mostly unaffected from the collision itself, but the ball popped out of his glove and struck him in the face, resulting in the laceration. The 31-year-old appears to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day.

Reinstated Saturday Duffy (illness) was reinstated from the injured list prior to Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against Oakland.

Impact Jack Mayfield was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move, so Duffy will take over those utility infielder duties. He hit .278 with zero home runs and zero steals in 36 at-bats prior to being placed on the IL.

Beginning rehab assignment Duffy (illness) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

Impact Duffy has been on the COVID-19 injured list since May 1, but he's been cleared to return to game action with the minor-league club. The team hasn't indicated how many rehab games Duffy will require prior to rejoining the major-league club, but he'll presumably reclaim a depth role once he's cleared for big-league games.

Moves to COVID-19 IL The Angels placed Duffy on the COVID-19 injured list Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Duffy was initially in line to start at first base Sunday against White Sox southpaw Dallas Keuchel, but the lefty-hitting Jared Walsh was instead a late addition to the lineup after Duffy was scratched. The Angels haven't indicated whether Duffy's placement on the COVID-19 IL was the result of a positive test or due to contact-tracing concerns, but he'll head into isolation until the team gets more clarity on the matter. Jack Mayfield was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake to provide an extra option off the bench while Duffy is on the IL.

Records three hits Sunday Duffy went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Rangers.

Impact Duffy recorded his second multi-hit game and his first extra-base hit of the season, and he's making the most of his opportunities at the plate. He's hit .389 (7-for-18) to begin the season while holding a part-time role.

Records two hits in opener Duffy went 2-for-3 in Thursday's loss against the Astros.

Impact Tyler Wade is expected to see most of the playing time at the keystone, but Duffy ended up starting the opener with lefty Framber Valdez on the mound for Houston. Duffy spent the 2021 season with the Cubs and hit .287 with a .738 OPS across 322 plate appearances.

Slated for platoon role Duffy will split time in the short side of a platoon at second base to begin the 2022 campaign, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Tyler Wade will see most of the playing time at the keystone against right-handed pitchers early in the year, but Duffy and Jack Mayfield are expected to split at-bats against southpaws. Duffy appeared in 97 games with the Cubs last year, and he's gone 6-for-9 with a homer, a double, five runs and two walks across four Cactus League appearances this spring.

Drives in two Sunday Duffy went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

Impact Duffy punctuated a strong finish to the season with a two-hit effort in the finale, and he'll now carry a 13-game hitting streak into next year. The end-of-season flourish pushed the 30-year-old's batting average to .287. If Duffy returns to the Cubs in 2022, he'll likely fill a utility infielder role off the bench, though he's shown a consistent ability to get hits when he plays regularly.

Continues hitting streak Duffy went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Pirates.

Impact Duffy has collected a hit in eight straight games, and he's batting a robust .400 during the streak. The versatile infielder is seeing regular playing time and has bumped his season-long batting average up to .278 with the strong run lately. Duffy doesn't offer a ton of pop, but fantasy managers can still find some value from the 30-year-old while he's locked in at the plate.
