Recommended Pickup
Tyler Duffey, P, MIN – Duffey appears to have settled into the Twins rotation, bumping Phil Hughes from a start Sunday. In that start, Duffey hurled seven shutout innings against the Angels. In his last three starts, Duffey has tallied a 1.35 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 20 innings, with 20 strikeouts and four walks. Duffey broke out while splitting time between Double-A and Triple-A this season, totaling a 2.54 ERA and 1.08 WHIP on the season. Duffey is an unknown commodity, but he has produced well and it seems likely he will make two more starts on the season.
