| Duffy set to have Tommy John: The Royals announced on Friday that the second opinion from Dr. Lewis Yocum confirmed the tear in Danny Duffy’s left ulnar collateral ligament, which means he will be forced to undergo Tommy John surgery in the next two weeks, ending his season. On Wednesday, manager Ned Yost said the he will probably be out a year, and now that the procedure has been confirmed, that timetable likely. (Updated 05/18/2012) |

| Elbow - 15-day DL. Out for the season (Updated - 5/18/12) |
| Fantasy Analysis |
| It appears the 23-year-old’s season is over and we will not see him until next spring at the earliest. He had put up a 3.90 ERA with 28 strikeouts in 27 2/3 innings before the injury, as he looked like he was starting to put together the potential he showed throughout his minor-league career. Duffy’s fastball velocity jumped two miles per hour from last season to this season, so it will be interesting to see how he comes back from the surgery, as some pitchers have even seen their velocity increase after Tommy John. He has a long road to recovery in front of him, so Fantasy owners in yearly leagues should drop him, however he remains a decent long-term option in deeper keeper formats. (Updated 05/18/2012). |
