Duffy signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Monday that includes an invitation to spring training.
Analysis: Duffy pitched at Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock in the Rangers organization last season, holding a 3.28 ERA and 42:29 K:BB over 35.2 innings. The veteran left-hander hasn't pitched in the majors since 2021 in large part due to arm issues, but the Rangers saw enough to like to bring him back on a non-guaranteed deal.
Danny Duffy Struggles in debut with Frisco
Duffy (forearm) allowed two three runs in two-thirds of an innings Saturday for Double-A Frisco.
Analysis: Duffy was just activated off the seven-day injured list after missing the first two months with a forearm strain and he had his service transferred to Double-A. The left-hander's debut was a shaky one, as he walked three without recording a strikeout. Duffy has been an effective hurler when healthy, and assuming the command comes in the coming days, he could help the Texas bullpen by the end of 2023.
