Scope baseline has WBS, deliverable, constraints and assumptions (PN 224 PMBOK 6th Edition), We have assumptions in assumptions log too, isn't adding assumptions in Scope baseline makes this duplicate ? Saving Changes...

Assumptions log is the tools you could use to monitoring assumptions stated into scope statement. Saving Changes...

Good question.
As Sergio says and PMBoK explains on PN 155, assumptions made during defining scope are updated in the assumption log. There might be assumptions made during other processes, e.g. about resources, funding, timelines etc., also in the assumption log. It is therefor good to have a separate log.
From PMBoK table 5-1 I would not duplicate the documentation of assumptions in the scope statement, but maybe label the assumptions as being a (logical) part of the scope statement.
The PMBOK Guide does not specify whether this information is in one , two or multiple documents. That is left up to each team to decide.
So, you could have a centralized assumptions log with either a field referencing the context of the assumption or links to other documents such as the scope baseline.

I just reference the assumptions log file in the project management plan. We have Office 365 so I just paste the OneDrive link with access granted to relevant stakeholders.
Hope this helps,
