Duvall went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's spring game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Duvall had been hitless over his first six Grapefruit League games (14 plate appearances) before going on a three-game hit streak that included his first spring home run and extra-base hit. A corner outfielder for most of his career, the 34-year-old Duvall will be tasked to play a majority of innings in center field, a position normally reserved for younger legs. He began a transition to center field in 2021 and played a career-high 382 innings there last season. Duvall's coming off wrist surgery and a down year, so when you add in playing one of the diamond's more challenging positions, he's a risky bet in 2023.

Duvall (wrist) said Tuesday at his introductory press conference with the Red Sox that he'll be "full go" for spring training, Gabrielle Star of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duvall, who joined the Red Sox on a one-year, $7 million deal, didn't see any action for Atlanta after July 23 of last year due to a left wrist injury that ultimately required season-ending surgery. Fortunately for Duvall, the surgery was to his non-dominant wrist, which offers hope that he might bounce back in the power department after he saw a 75-point drop in his isolated slugging from 2021 before opting for the season-ending surgery. The Red Sox are planning to install Duvall as their primary center fielder in 2023, and given that the 34-year-old has spent most of his career as a corner outfielder, showing up to spring training at full health should give him ample time to adapt well to the position change.

Duvall (wrist) agreed Wednesday with the Red Sox on a one-year, $7 million contract that includes up to $3 million in playing time-based incentives, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican, the Red Sox envision Duvall settling in as their everyday center fielder, even though 90 percent of the 34-year-old's career innings in the outfield have come at a corner spot. Duvall graded out adequately as a defender in the innings he played in center for Atlanta in 2022, but he saw his isolated power take a major dip following a 38-homer 2021 campaign before he underwent season-ending surgery in late July to address a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist. Duvall should be at close to full health for spring training, and the Red Sox are hoping that he can rediscover his power stroke while essentially stepping into the lineup as a replacement for Trevor Story. Enrique Hernandez, who had regularly played in center field in 2022, is expected to play regularly at shortstop while Story is likely sidelined for most of the first half of the season.

Duvall left Saturday's game against the Angels in the third inning with left wrist soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Duvall went 0-for-1 in his only at-bat in Saturday's contest before leaving. It's unclear when he tweaked the wrist, but he can be considered day-to-day moving forward. Guillermo Heredia replaced him in left field.

Duvall went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-4 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
His ninth-inning blast off Kyle Finnegan capped the scoring for Atlanta. Since returning from the paternity list early in the week, Duvall has gone yard twice in three games to give him 12 homers and 35 RBI on the year, but his .211/.275/.401 slash line given him limited fantasy value in shallower formats.
