ATLANTA -- The Braves have acquired outfielder Adam Duvall from the Cincinnati Reds to bolster their lineup for a postseason push. The Braves sent right-handers Lucas Sims and Matt Wisler and outfielder Preston Tucker to Cincinnati. All three spent time in Atlanta this season but were with Triple-A Gwinnett at the time of the trade. The trade was announced after the Braves' 5-3 win over Miami on Monday night. Duvall reacted to the trade in a series of tweets on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Duvall has hit 15 home runs with 61 RBIs, but is batting only .205 this season. Duvall hit 64 homers over the previous two seasons; 33 in 2016 and 31 last season. He was a National League All-Star in 2016. Duvall was also a finalist for the Rawlings Gold Glove Award in each of the past two seasons. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
