Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Sitting in series finale
Duran is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Duran had started in seven of the Rangers' previous eight games, but he'll hit the bench Sunday for the second time in the series. Despite a slow start to the season, Josh Smith still appears to be viewed as the Rangers' top option at second base, though Duran will likely spell him against most left-handed pitching and should also continue to see semi-regular opportunities versus righties due to his ability to play all over the infield as well as both corner-outfield spots. Duran has been productive when called upon this season, slashing .289/.347/.422 with one home run and three stolen bases over 49 plate appearances.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Remains productive in loss
Duran started at second base and went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Mariners.
Duran notched a run-scoring double in the ninth inning, as the Rangers mounted a comeback that eventually lost steam. He might have made the start against Seattle's George Kirby because he has a better track record against the right-hander than the Rangers' primary second baseman, the lefty-hitting Josh Smith. The start may also be a sign that Smith's season-opening slump (.177 average, 20 games) has left his starting spot vulnerable. Duran, who has played multiple positions, is slashing .289/.347/.422 over 17 games played.

Rangers' Josh Smith: Sitting Saturday
Smith is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against Mariners right-hander George Kirby on Saturday.
Smith will be on the bench for the start of Saturday's game after going 1-for-11 with one RBI and a 2:5 BB:K over his last three outings. The righty-hitting Ezequiel Duran will start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Makes fifth straight start
Duran started at shortstop and went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-6 win over the Athletics.
Duran gave the Rangers a cushion with a two-run single in the ninth inning. His name popped up in the starting lineup for a fifth consecutive game, this time as a replacement for the resting Corey Seager. His previous starts came at third base for a banged up Josh Jung and in the outfield for the then-injured Wyatt Langford, both of whom have returned and were in the lineup Thursday. The steal was the third in the last four games for Duran, who stole 11 bags in a part-time role last season.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: In left field Saturday
Duran went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.
Duran, who replaced Wyatt Langford (quad) in left field Friday and started there Saturday. Langford underwent an MRI on Saturday, which indicated his quad injury is a mild strain, per Jacob Gurvis of MLB.com. He was considered to be available off the bench, which suggests Duran's stay in left field will be a short one.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Enters for injured teammate
Duran entered Friday's 8-7 loss to the Dodgers to play left field after Wyatt Langford (quad) was removed and went 1-for-2 with an RBI.
Duran extended a hit streak to three games with a ninth-inning RBI-single. Langford will undergo imaging to determine the severity of the injury. If the results of the testing leads to Langford missing games or a stint on the IL, either Duran or Sam Haggerty could fill in. Duran had been playing third base in place of the banged-up Josh Jung, who returned to duty Friday after a two-game absence.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Starts at hot corner again
Duran went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Seattle.
Duran started at third base for a second straight game, as primary starter Josh Jung (undisclosed) remained out of the lineup. Texas manager Skip Schumaker described Jung as "banged up" but available to play if needed. That suggests Duran's run could end soon.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Fills in at hot corner
Duran started at third base and went 1-for-3 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Seattle.
Duran entered the lineup at the hot corner for Josh Jung, who was "banged up," per Texas manager Skip Schumaker. Duran was already getting opportunities at second base due to Josh Smith's offensive struggles and now could get time at third base, if Jung's injury lingers.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Homers in win
Duran started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Orioles.
Duran put the Rangers up early with a solo shot in the third inning. He filled in for the struggling Josh Jung, who is 0-for-17 to start the season. The versatile Duran has started twice this season -- the other start coming at second base -- and contributed an extra-base hit and RBI in each contest.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Contributes to win
Duran started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Phillies.
Duran entered the starting nine for the first time this season, replacing Josh Smith at second base against Philadelphia lefty Jesus Luzardo. There's been no indication Duran and Smith are in a strict platoon -- Smith started Opening Day against a lefty -- and Sunday's start could merely be manager Skip Schumaker keeping his bench players involved.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Nets deal for 2026
Duran agreed to a one-year contract with the Rangers on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Duran played 90 games for the Rangers last season and had a career-worst .559 OPS, failing to hit a home run in 219 plate appearances. The 26-year-old has a contract for 2026 but likely won't have much roster security given that he has a .237/.278/.309 slash line across the past two seasons.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Idle for second straight game
Duran is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
After a stretch of five consecutive starts at four different positions, Duran will take a seat for the second day in a row, with both of his absences coming while the Brewers have sent right-handers to the mound. Duran looks like he'll mainly be limited to a short-side platoon role in the Texas infield while the Rangers turn to Josh Smith and Cody Freeman as their preferred double-play tandem against right-handed pitching.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Moves to right field
Duran started in right field and went 3-for-5 in Friday's 4-3 win over the Astros.
Duran filled in for the injured Adolis Garcia (quadriceps) in right field. Since Garcia sustained the injury earlier this week, the Rangers have used Alejandro Osuna in right field against right-handers and Duran against a lefty. Duran's moved around the diamond for injured teammates the last few weeks; he's started games at first base, second base, shortstop and now right field.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Gaining foothold in lineup
Duran is batting eighth and playing second base in Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Duran will remain in the lineup for the fourth time in five games and will be occupying the keystone for the second day in a row. With super-utility man Josh Smith likely to see most of his playing time at shortstop moving forward due to Corey Seager (appendectomy) being potentially lost for the season, Duran could end up emerging as the Rangers' primary option at second base. Duran has been productive at the plate throughout August, slashing .328/.349/.410 with no home runs and three stolen bases through 20 games on the month.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Fills in at shortstop
Duran started at shortstop and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.
Duran got the start at short in the first game after Corey Seager underwent appendectomy surgery Thursday. Duran eventually moved to second base in the seventh inning, when Josh Smith moved from first base to short. Duran (against lefties) and Smith (righties) should share the position while Seager is on the mend.
