Five days before camp reopened July 1, Braves manager Brian Snitker had a long conversation with outfielder Adam Duvall, who falls under the high-risk category as a diabetic. Duvall could’ve opted out of the 2020 season and received his pay and service time.
Instead, he’s all systems go, hoping he’ll play an important role throughout the 60-game season.
“I did some research on my own,” Duvall said. “I did talk to a couple doctors. I felt that I was in a good position as long as I did what I needed to do as far as staying safe, trying to keep my distance, washing my hands, everything they’ve talked about.
