There are a couple of reasons why:

1. The logjam at 1st base: Giambi, Betemit, Sexson, occasionally
Damon, and now Posada when he gets off the DL
2. The other two rookies, Christian and Gardner are much better on
the basepaths, and are needed for the outfield since Matsui is out,
and you need that extra outfielder to give people a rest, day off, or
defensive purposes.
3. Duncan is really starting to look like Kevin Maas the Sequel. All
pop the first hundred at bats, and nothing else. Maybe with more
seasoning he'll be able to start hitting the breaking pitch better,
but for a while he was just an automatic out at the plate. He also
needs to work on his fielding around the bag. He did make a few bad
errors there while he was up.

He'll almost certainly get a September call-up, but unless more people
go on the DL, he won't be up till then, and will not be making the
playoff roster if the Yanks get in.
