Duvall is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Duvall will get the day off while lefty Scott Schebler starts in left field. Duvall is off to a decent start this year, slashing .250/.286/.500 with four extra-base hits and three RBI in eight games.

Duvall went 2-for-3 Sunday with two doubles.

EDGE Analysis

The Reds' left-field platoon has been a success so far, with Duvall hitting .308/.438/.462 through 13 at-bats and Scott Schebler hitting a solid .286/.333/.500 as well. Cinci faces just one lefty next week, however, so expect Duvall to be out of the starting lineup more often than not.

Duvall will start in left field Monday against the Phillies, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duvall was expected to open the season in a platoon in left field with Scott Schebler, but that may not necessarily be the case, as his first start will come against a right-handed starter in the Phillies' Jeremy Hellickson. The 27-year-old has shown some pop throughout his minor-league career, but Duvall's issues with contact during his 27-game stint last season with Reds suggest that his batting average could remain a drain.

Duvall will likely begin the season in a left field platoon, C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duvall hasn't put up particularly strong numbers against southpaws in his brief big league career, hitting just .182, but he looks to be on the short side of a platoon with Scott Schebler. The 27-year-old has flashed strong power in the minors, but the batting average and strikeouts could overshadow that.

Duvall is hitting.273/.273/.455 in 33 plate appearances so far in spring training, with one homer, six strikeouts and no walks.

EDGE Analysis

Duvall has been overshadowed by the performance of Scott Schebler so far, but it's a good bet that they'll share the left field job. Expect some power from Duvall, but a low batting average with lots of strikeouts.

Duvall is one of four Reds players competing for the left field job, along with Scott Schebler, Yorman Rodriguez and Jesse Winker.

EDGE Analysis

Duvall might have a small edge, at least over Rodriguez for the right-handed half of the platoon, with an incumbent's advantage. He has plenty of power, but he has trouble making consistent contact.

Duvall is out of the lineup Monday against the Nationals, C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duvall has seen most of the starts in left field during the month of September, but he now sit out for the fourth time in six games Monday. Skip Schumaker will receive the start in his place, leading off for the Reds.

Duvall is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets, ESPN.com's Adam Rubin reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duvall earned the last two starts in left field, going 2-for-8 with a solo homer. Though he'll sit out Sunday, Duvall is expected to see most of the at-bats at the position in the final week of the season.

Duvall is out of the lineup Saturday against the Brewers, C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duvall has seen some semi-consistent run in left field since being recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Aug. 31, but he's yet to provide enough production to merit a full-time role just yet. Until Duvall lifts up his .174 batting average a bit, expect him to share time with the likes of Skip Schumaker, Ivan De Jesus, Jason Bourgeois, and Brennan Boesch in left field.

Duvall (knee) is in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Duvall has been limited to bench duty since being struck by a pitch on the knee Tuesday, but his inclusion in Friday's lineup indicates the setback is no longer an issue. Duvall will man left field and hit seventh for the Reds on Friday night.
