Activated, starting Friday Duffy (back) was activated from the 60-day injured list and is starting at third base Friday versus Arizona.

Impact Duffy has been sidelined since May 22 due to a strain in his lower back, and he'll slot into the fifth spot in the lineup in his return. Patrick Wisdom has taken over the regular role at third base with Kris Bryant shifting to left field, but Duffy should at least see semi-regular starts as a utility player.

Activation delayed Chicago won't activate Duffy (back) from the 60-day injured list Thursday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact Duffy looked on track to return from the IL for Thursday's series finale in St. Louis, and though he hasn't suffered any sort of setback, the Cubs will instead wait at least one more day to reinstate him. Rather than bringing back Duffy, the Cubs called up reliever Trevor Megill from Triple-A Iowa to fill the opening on the active roster created by infielder Sergio Alcantara's demotion. Once activated, Duffy will likely be relegated to a utility role in the infield, though he could be settle into a near-everyday role in the event Kris Bryant's hamstring injury forces him to the IL.

Eyeing Thursday return Duffy (back) expects to be activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Duffy began his rehab stint with Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday and has been seeing the ball well at the dish, hitting .308 in four contests, per Andracki. He'll serve in a utility role for the Cubs upon his return.

Beginning rehab Monday Duffy (back) will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact A lower back strain has sidelined Duffy since May. It's unclear how many games he'll require on the rehab assignment, but an activation when he's eligible July 22 remains realistic. Duffy hit .278 with 12 RBI in 90 at-bats before suffering the injury.
