Duvall went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a feast-or-famine start to the season for Duvall, and he's gone 6-for-45 (.133 batting average) over his past 12 games with four home runs and 13 strikeouts. His .304 ISO and .341 wOBA this year are admirable marks, but his .279 on-base percentage and 25.6 strikeout percentage reinforce his inconsistency at the dish.

Duvall is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Duvall has scuffled at the plate recently, collecting just five hits over his past 37 at-bats. He'll get the day off Sunday with the hopes of getting back on track Monday against the Brewers. Scooter Gennett will draw the start in left field Sunday.

Duvall went 1-for-5 with a solo homer and a steal in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Duvall's fifth homer of the campaign gave the Reds a 5-2 lead that looked like it might hold up until the Cubs came up with three runs in the ninth inning to tie the game in an eventual losing effort. After crushing 33 homers with a .241 batting average in 2016, he looks to be setting up for a similar type of season with his performance in April.

Duvall went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, a double and five RBI against the Orioles on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
He followed up his first-inning sac fly with a second-inning bomb, continuing Duvall's strong start to the year. The 28-year-old has carried forward last year's power breakout by homering four times in 14 games. While you can't have great expectations for him in terms of batting average because he strikes out a lot, Duvall got a bit unlucky in the BABIP department last season, posting a .275 mark. Improved fortune could reasonably lead to him hitting .260-plus to go with a run at another 30-homer campaign.

EDGE Analysis
Duvall gets his first day off this season after opening on a .286/.348/.548 tear with three home runs. Scooter Gennett will man left field in his absence.

Duvall went 3-for-4 with a walk and a homer in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Duvall's stat line to begin the season is .348/.375/.696, with two homers and four RBI. About the only negative is that he's had just that one walk from Sunday as opposed to seven strikeouts. That strikeout rate (29.2% so far) is in line with his career norms.

Duvall is slated to hit cleanup according to manager Bryan Price, John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duvall did little to help with batting average and OBP but was a breakout bopper with 33 home runs, 103 RBI and 85 runs scored in 2016. There'll be a slight drop-off in each of those, and an extended slump may jeopardize his playing time, but fantasy players can find value in his lumber during the middle rounds of mixed drafts.

Duvall went 1-for-3 with a walk in the Reds' season finale Sunday, striking out once. He ended up hitting .241/.297/.498 in his first full season in the majors. He had 33 homers, 103 RBI, 85 runs with 41 walks and 164 strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Your return on investment with Duvall was phenomenal, and the Reds also did very well in adding him for two months of Mike Leake from the Giants, especially when you factor in Duvall's high defensive marks in left field. This is probably as good as it gets for Duvall, who turned 28 in September. But the Reds will have him under cost control for the next two years while they continue to build up their system.

Duvall homered twice, scored four runs and knocked in five in a 4-for-6 game Monday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Duvall now has three multi-homer games this season and his five RBI marks his most of the campaign. He is hitting .242/.296/.505 this season, and despite his obvious power, his brutal 38:155 K:BB seems likely to restrict him to a role player, as he doesn't provide much when he isn't mashing the ball over the fence.

Duvall went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer during a 10-4 loss to the Pirates in the opening game of a doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
The slugging outfielder took Jameson Taillon deep in the third with a 406-foot shot to left, cutting what was a Pirates' 6-0 lead in half at the time. Despite a wretched start to the month, Duvall has now hit safely in six of his last seven games, with three doubles, Saturday's homer, and five RBI over that span.
