Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Sitting against another lefty
Rotowire
Duran is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Duran's tough season continues as he's slashing just .171/.227/.268 in September, bringing him down to .204/.261/.361 for the year. He's nearly gone 20-20 despite those struggles -- he sits one steal shy of 20 -- but it appears his opportunities against lefties will remain limited down the stretch. Roman Anthony, Nate Eaton and Wilyer Abreu will start across the outfield from left to right Wednesday, while Jahmai Jones serves as the DH against southpaw MacKenzie Gore.

Duran is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
It's the sixth straight absence against left-handed starting pitching for Duran, who hasn't been in the lineup versus a southpaw starter since Aug. 8. The 30-year-old has a .641 OPS against left-handed pitching this season, which is actually better than his .619 OPS versus righties. Despite the offensive struggles, Duran has still started every game against right-handed pitching since the start of July. Roman Anthony is handling left field Sunday for Boston, opening up the DH spot for Jahmai Jones.

Duran went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 win over the Angels.
Duran led off the bottom of the second inning with the homer, his 20th of the season. Despite what has been a trying season for the outfielder, who is batting .204, Duran has contributed pop, defense and speed (18 stolen bases). He's poised for a second 20/20 season.

Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Not in Sunday's lineup
Rotowire
Duran is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Giants, Chris Henrique of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
The 29-year-old has started regularly against left-handed pitching this season, but he finds himself on the bench Sunday for the second straight game that Boston has faced a southpaw. It's unclear if that will be a trend for the rest of the season, but Duran certainly hasn't performed well versus lefties this year with a .570 OPS in 125 plate appearances. Eli White is picking up a start in left field and batting eighth against San Francisco starter Matt Wilkinson.

Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Snaps homer drought
Rotowire
Duran went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Dodgers.
Duran snapped a 22-game homer drought with a solo shot in the sixth inning. It was the last of the four HRs hit by Boston, which completed a sweep of the Dodgers in Los Angeles. When the Red Sox spiraled in the first half, Duran's name often came up in trade speculation, but the team's recent turnaround makes it buyers heading into Monday's trade deadline. Duran, who entered the All-Star break with a .194 average, clawed his way back to .200 following Sunday's contest (.233 in second half).
Duran isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Duran doesn't typically step out of the lineup against left-handed starters, but the Red Sox will give him a day off Wednesday with southpaw Jacob Lopez set to toe the slab for the A's. Jahmai Jones will fill in as Boston's left fielder and bat leadoff.

Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Held out of lineup against lefty
Rotowire
Duran is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
The left-handed-hitting Duran will hit the bench for a third straight matchup versus a lefty starter/primary pitcher (Andrew Alvarez) and looks as though he'll be relegated to a strong-side platoon role while he's slashed .216/.284/.297 (61 wRC+) in 81 plate appearances versus southpaws on the season. Nate Eaton will replace Duran in left field and will bat seventh.
