Danny Duffy (elbow) expected to return Sunday for Royals

Kansas City Royals pitcher Danny Duffy (elbow) will likely be activated and start on Sunday against Cleveland.

What It Means:

If things go as planned, Duffy would be limited to around 65 pitches for Sunday's series finale in Cleveland. The 28-year-old left-hander has been out since August 22 due to a left elbow injury.

Prior to injury, Duffy posted a 3.78 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 21.4 strikeout percentage across 131 innings this season while going 8-8 (21 starts). numberFire's models project him to record a 4.31 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with 14 strikeouts over the remainder of the year.
