Duffy had left the Royals’ road trip to return to Kansas City for an MRI exam on his ailing left elbow. “This is never a good situation to come about,” said Duffy, whose first appearance in municipal court is Sept. 19. Duffy was 8-8 with a 3.78 ERA when he went on the disabled list Saturday with pain in his left elbow. The MRI exam revealed no structural damage, and the Royals hoped Duffy would only miss one start. “Anything that was concerning, we would have shut him down right from the get-go,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.
