Rest-of-Season Projections
Let go by Atlanta
The Braves released Duda from his minor-league contract Tuesday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Duda signed with Atlanta earlier this month with the hope of making enough of an impression at Triple-A Gwinnett to earn a September callup. The 33-year-old was unsuccessful in that endeavor, batting just .140 in 16 games with Gwinnett while striking out in 30.9 percent of his plate appearances. Duda seems unlikely to surface elsewhere before the 2019 campaign ends and could opt for retirement this winter.

For the second straight year, Duda was traded during the summer months, this time from Kansas City to Atlanta in a post-waiver-deadline deal. He missed nearly six weeks due to plantar fasciitis, and his performance wasn't on par with what we had seen from him in the past. Duda walked at a 7.0% clip with the Royals, the lowest mark of his career outside of his initial 29-game sample in 2010. Far worse for fantasy owners, his power numbers plummeted, as he lost more than 100 points from his ISO and nearly 80 points from his SLG. After the trade, he was primarily a bench option. Duda has been basically a replacement-level player in two of the last three seasons, and in his 30-homer campaign in 2017, he was only worth 1.2 fWAR. It's unwise to expect him to bounce back to a similar level of production.
