2016
Like the rest of Minnesota's bullpen, Duffey got off to a slow start last season with a 4.50 ERA and 22:13 K:BB in 24 innings through June 11. The career resurgence he's had since 2019 as a reliable setup man looked to have run out of gas as reflected in his season-ending totals of a career-low 9.3 swinging strike rate and career-high 11 percent walk rate. However, he righted the ship and posted a 2.35 ERA and 39:15 K:BB in 38.1 innings after June 11. Despite a down year from his recent standards, he still posted 22 holds. He's rarely been used to close games despite his dominance against right-handed batters (.531 OPS allowed vs. RHB last season), and that doesn't figure to change this season as Jorge Alcala and Taylor Rogers are likely first in line in saves. Still, if his second-half correction is carried over into 2022, he'll be a reliable source of holds.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance for bullpen spot?
Manager David Ross could "lean toward" Duffey to round out the Cubs' Opening Day bullpen, reports Patrick Mooney of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old joined Chicago on a minor-league deal in January, and he's pitched well through the first half of spring training with one run allowed and six strikeouts across four innings. Duffey struggled to a 4.91 ERA in 40 outings for the Twins last year, but his 2.69 ERA over the previous three seasons illustrates his potential value as a bullpen piece.
