Duvall will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Duvall will make his fourth consecutive start in right field in place of Ramon Laureano, who remains day-to-day with a back injury. Over his previous three starts, Duvall went 2-for-11 with a double and two RBI.

Duvall is out of the lineup for Monday's game in St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Duvall will hit the bench for Atlanta's second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher (Lance Lynn). While Michael Harris (hamstring) is on the shelf, Atlanta looks content to go with Forrest Wall, Jarred Kelenic and Ramon Laureano as its preferred outfield configuration from left to right against right-handed pitching. Duvall had taken hold of a regular role in the corner outfield after Ronald Acuna (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear May 26, but the 35-year-old has turned in an ugly .135/.189/.225 slash line since that time. Atlanta should still have a spot in the lineup for Duvall against left-handed pitching as a short-side platoon mate for the lefty-hitting Wall.

Duvall went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Duvall has taken on a near-everyday role in the Atlanta outfield since Ronald Acuna (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear May 26, but the 35-year-old hasn't been able to capitalize on the opportunity. In Atlanta's ensuing 25 games without Acuna, Duvall has slashed a lowly .135/.189/.225 with a 32.6 percent strikeout rate. Manager Brian Snitker already excluded Duvall from the lineup in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Yankees while right-hander Marcus Stroman took the hill for New York, perhaps signaling that Duvall's time as a regular in the Atlanta lineup could be nearing its end. Ramon Laureano picked up a start in the corner outfield Saturday and would likely be the main beneficiary if Snitker elects to phase Duvall out of the lineup on a more consistent basis.

Duvall went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run against the Nationals in a 5-2 victory Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta was being shut out by rookie hurler Mitchell Parker until Duvall tied the score with his two-run blast in the seventh inning. The long ball was his first since he went deep in back-to-back games May 26-27. Duvall is still under the Mendoza line with a .195 average on the campaign, but he's taken on a near-everyday role in right field since Ronald Acuna was lost for the season due to a knee injury.

Duvall went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

He took a tiring Mitchell Parker deep in the seventh inning, giving Duvall his second homer in as many days and his fifth of the year. The veteran outfielder will move out of his short-side platoon role and take over as Atlanta's everyday right fielder due to Ronald Acuna (knee) being lost for the season, but if Duvall's .209/.303/.407 slash line doesn't improve, the team might give J.P. Martinez a look instead.

Duvall went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Duvall blasted an eighth-inning 1-0 offering by Pirates reliever Aroldis Chapman over the wall in left-center for his fourth home run of the season. Duvall, who earned the start with lefty Martin Perez starting the game on the hill, is set to earn additional playing time in the near future, as Ronald Acuna left the game with a knee injury and is slated for a stint on the IL.

Duvall went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Cubs while also being hit by a pitch.

EDGE Analysis

Duvall jumped on a four-seamer from Justin Steele in the top of the third and crushed it 423 feet into the stands in center field to give Atlanta an early 2-0 lead. The outfielder would then come around to score for a second time on a sac fly in the seventh after being hit by a pitch, marking only the second time this season in which he's scored multiple runs in a game. The home run was Duvall's third of the campaign and first since April 23 against the Marlins, while the two RBI were also his first in the month of May.

Duvall went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and scored twice during Atlanta's 5-0 win over Miami on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Duvall came around to score after reaching on a fielder's choice during the second inning, and his sixth-inning home run would end up scoring Atlanta's final two runs in a game that was hardly ever in doubt. Although Duvall played well Tuesday, he remains stuck in the short side of a platoon with Jarred Kelenic and shouldn't be relied upon to provide consistent fantasy production -- even on days he does start.

Duvall went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger took Jesus Luzardo deep in the fourth inning. Duvall has mainly been limited to a short-side platoon role to begin the season, splitting starts in left field with Jarred Kelenic, and through seven games he's batting .250 (6-for-24) with a double, a homer, three runs and six RBI.

Duvall went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's 16-4 loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old has only earned five starts on the year, but has shown decent consistency at the plate during that time frame. Duvall has earned the majority of his starts when the team faces lefties, and if he is able to stay consistent at the plate he could get a few more at-bats sprinkled in outside of his typical platoon role. At least for the foreseeable future, however, Jarred Kelenic's hot start (.462 through 26 at-bats) stands as a major obstacle to the veteran's rise in fantasy prominence.
