Lucas Duda is expected to play in his first Grapefruit League game either this coming Friday or Saturday, SNY’s Gary Cohen said on Sunday’s telecast.
Duda – who hasn’t hit in nearly four weeks due to a strained intercostal muscle – has been hitting soft toss and off a tee since last week. He is expected to start taking batting practice tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Travis d’Arnaud left Sunday’s game with a cut on his finger. He did not require stitches, according to the team.
