Will reassess in five days Duffy (forearm) will rest his arm for about five days before reassessing when he might be able to return, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Impact The lefty had initially feared a more severe injury and an extended absence, so the news is a promising sign for Duffy and the Royals. There's no guarantee Duffy stays on the injured list for the minimum 10 days, but it does appear he'll be returning to action sooner rather than later.

Out with flexor strain Duffy was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left forearm flexor strain Monday.
Impact Duffy had been having an excellent season, riding a career-best 28.2 percent strikeout rate to a 1.94 ERA while showcasing his highest velocity (averaging 93.7 mph on his fastball) since 2016. The transaction was backdated three days, so he'll be eligible to return in a week, but that appears highly unlikely given the nature of his injury. Forearm issues can sometimes be the first sign of a very serious injury, though it's unclear if that's the case for Duffy. Kris Bubic will enter the rotation in his absence and will start Tuesday against the Brewers.

Suffers second straight loss Duffy (4-3) allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings in a loss to the Tigers on Wednesday.
Impact The Royals were hoping Duffy's arm could help them end a nine-game losing streak coming into Wednesday's game but he received little help from the offense after their bats mustered up just two runs on three hits. He was given an early two-run cushion in the first inning but that was erased quickly after allowing a run in the second and third. The 32-year-old later surrendered two extra-base hits and a single in the fifth which amounted to another two runs and put the Royals behind for good. Duffy did tie his season-high with eight strikeouts but has given up seven runs over his last 11.2 innings after only allowing two earned in his first 30. He still owns a 1.94 ERA which is good for sixth-best in major league baseball but the window to sell high on the left-hander is quickly closing after a pair of rocky starts have led to consecutive losses. He'll look to turn things around early next week in a meeting against the Brewers.

Takes loss to Cleveland Duffy (4-2) allowed three earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out six across 5.2 innings to take the loss to Cleveland on Thursday.
Impact Thursday marks Duffy's first time this season surrendering multiple runs. Even with this mediocre appearance, he still has a 1.26 ERA and 40 strikeouts in 35.2 innings, and his velocity is up to 93.8 mph -- his highest since 2016. The 32-year-old is scheduled to start Wednesday in Detroit.
