Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Adam Duvall (wrist) will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist. Duvall sustained the injury during Saturday’s game against the Angels. It’s a tough blow for the Braves, though the recent return of Eddie Rosario does help to soften the news just a bit. Duvall will finish a disappointing 2022 season hitting .213/.276/.401 with 12 homers and 36 RBI in 315 plate appearances.
