• Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Lower in order against lefties

  Rotowire Jun 15, 2025

  Red Sox manager Alex Cora will move Duran to the middle of the order against left-handers, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Aside from the days he's been out of the lineup, Duran has led off all season long. That changed Saturday, when Cora shifted him to fifth against Carlos Rodon. He's batting sixth Sunday against Max Fried, per Cotillo. Duran sports a .245 average and .628 OPS against southpaws, which may partially explain Cora's motivation for the shift. The manager also said the move is about getting more plate appearances for both Refsnyder and Romy Gonzalez, who's batting third for a second straight game Sunday.

• Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Mashes fifth homer in victory

  Rotowire Jun 11, 2025

  Duran went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rays. It was the fifth round tripper of the campaign by Duran, who last homered back on May 24. Although the speedy outfielder has taken a bit of a step back in the power department so far -- he's slugging .428 this year after slugging .492 in 2024 -- he's been plenty productive despite the decrease in pop. Duran is batting .271 with 18 doubles, seven triples, 38 RBI, 38 runs scored and 14 stolen bases through 299 at-bats, and he's tied for the American League lead in three-baggers.

• Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Goes deep in twin bill

  Rotowire May 25, 2025

  Duran went a combined 2-for-8 with a solo home run and a walk across Saturday's doubleheader split versus Baltimore. Duran led off Boston's half of the first inning in Game 1 with a solo blast to right-center field. He reached twice more in that contest before going 0-for-4 in the low-scoring nightcap. By failing to get aboard in Game 2, Duran's stretch of reaching base in 10 straight contests came to an end. He had batted .366 with a pair of homers and 12 RBI during the hot streak, and his season slash line now sits at .268/.319/.425 with four long balls, 33 RBI, 30 runs and 12 stolen bases through 248 plate appearances.

• Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Starting in return from suspension

  Rotowire Aug 14, 2024

  Duran will start in left field and bat leadoff Wednesday against the Rangers after being reinstated from his two-game suspension. The Red Sox handed Duran a two-game, unpaid ban after he was heard using a homophobic slur toward a heckler during Sunday's loss to the Astros. The suspension was announced after the Red Sox consulted with Major League Baseball on the matter, so Duran isn't expected to be subject to any further discipline from the team or the league. The reigning All-Star Game MVP is back in action for the series finale with the Rangers in his customary leadoff spot.
