Fight mars A's 9th straight win, 7-2 over Astros

AUGUST 10, 2020 • Associated Press

Heroic off bench Duvall went 2-for-2 with a double and three RBI during the win in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

Impact After starting in three consecutive contests, Duvall came off the bench for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader. However, he provided a bases-clearing double in the fifth inning that gave the team some insurance runs. Duvall's playing time could take a hit with Nick Markakis back in the fold for Atlanta, but he proved Sunday that he can still make an impact.

Sits after three straight starts Duvall is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Phillies.

Impact The right-handed-hitting Duvall will head to the bench after starting each of the Braves' past three games, during which he went 2-for-8 with a home run and a walk. He should still have a path to making regular starts versus left-handed pitching, but Duvall's hopes of settling into a full-time role have likely taken a hit after Nick Markakis (personal) was activated from the restricted list Wednesday.

Braves' Markakis hits walkoff HR after opting into season

Nick Markakis capped his first start of the season with a game-ending home run in the ninth inning that lifted the Atlanta Braves to a 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays

AUGUST 7, 2020 • Associated Press

Launches second homer Duvall went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Duvall accounted for all of Atlanta's scoring with his seventh-inning shot off right-hander Thomas Hatch. The Braves recently lost Matt Adams (hamstring) to the IL, but they got Nick Markakis (personal) back, so chances are Duvall will continue to start primarily against lefties.

Shines in no-decision Matz allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out seven in six innings, but he took a no-decision Saturday versus the Braves.

Impact Matz was excellent, with the only blemish on his line the result of a second-inning Adam Duvall solo home run. Matz had 15 quality starts in 30 starts last season and he's already added his first this year. The 29-year-old southpaw lines up to face the Red Sox at home Thursday.

Opens scoring with homer Duvall went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Mets.

Impact Duvall knocked his first homer of 2020 against Mets starter Steven Matz in the second inning. Duvall's other run in the game came as he was the initial runner in the 10th inning and he scored on a Dansby Swanson single to put the Braves ahead 3-2. The 31-year-old Duvall figures to serve in a platoon with Marcell Ozuna in left field, but he's also capable of playing right field and should see near-everyday playing time.

On bench Opening Day Duvall isn't in the lineup for Friday's season opener against the Mets, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Impact The 31-year-old appeared to have a chance to start Opening Day in left field with Marcell Ozuna potenitally being the designated hitter, but Ozuna is starting in left while Matt Adams serves as the DH. Duvall could be in the lineup for Saturday's matchup since lefty Steven Matz is taking the mound for New York.

Joins team workouts Freeman (illness) cleared MLB's COVID-19 protocols and began working out at the Braves' facility Friday.

Impact The 30-year-old has been absent from summer training after testing positive for COVID-19 and battling a fever in early July, but he's since recovered and is joining his teammates on the field. Freeman has yet to be ruled out for next Friday's season opener against the Mets and may need some additional time to reach game readiness, but his return to the field this week gives him a chance to potentially avoid missing any games. Regardless, joining team workouts is a significant step toward full clearance and is a boost to his early season prospects. Adam Duvall, Austin Riley and Johan Camargo are the potential fill-in options at first base should Freeman be unable to play Opening Day.

Opening Day return still possible Manager Brian Snitker said Thursday that it's still possible that Freeman (illness) could return by Opening Day, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Freeman tested positive for COVID-19 on July 4, and he was battling a fever. He's felt better in recent days but still hasn't cleared MLB protocol to return to the field. With Opening Day just eight days away, it seems to be a long shot that he'll be ready to go by the start of the season, but Snitker's update Thursday kept the possibility alive. The next several days will be crucial in determining his availability. If Freeman is unable to play by the start of the regular season, Adam Duvall could step in at first base.
