Duvall could form a platoon with Nick Markakis in left field and designated hitter this season, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marcell Ozuna was expected to be Atlanta's left fielder this season, but with a DH now available to NL teams for 2020, Ozuna's shaky defense could limit his reps in left and open the door for Markakis and Duvall to platoon. As the right-handed hitter of the duo, Duvall's playing time would be limited, but he'd still see more action than he would have as purely a bench bat, which seemed to be the role he was headed for. Austin Riley could also factor into the LF/DH mix depending on how much action he sees at third base, however, and he would be a direct threat to Duvall's at-bats.
