Duvall sounds like he's done for the year. Probably bring Ender back up. Sure hope they give Pache the chance to start, though. If he struggles, you can always pinch hit for him with Panda and move Riley to LF/Acuna back to CF. Riley has been so good with the glove at 3B all year, I don't really want to lose that unless we have to.
Yeah, this is probably the correct way to play this. I'm tempted to say just put Ozuna in the OF, DH D'Arnaud, and let Flowers catch. If that is what the plan is they will call up Contreras, if not it will be Ender.
In those two scenarios, you have to balance the benefit between Pache>Ozuna in the OF vs Flowers>Pache at the plate and Flowers>D'Arnaud behind the plate (marginally). Not making D'Arnaud catch up to 7 straight days may also benefit his bat, which is worth considering.
