JARREN DURAN NEWS

IL stint not ruled out Duran (toe) could still be placed on the injured list, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

However, he is not starting Monday, and manager Alex Cora said the team wants to see how Duran feels Tuesday before deciding on his next step.

Removal was precautionary Duran is expected to be fine after being lifted from Sunday's win over the Yankees with a left toe injury, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Duran's removal was considered precautionary, as he didn't even need X-rays and the Red Sox have not added anyone to the taxi squad. Of more concern are Duran's struggles at the plate so far in August, as he's been limited to just a .602 OPS so far in 17 games.

Slumping, dropped in order Duran batted seventh and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 8-3 win over the Yankees.

Impact Duran has hit the skids of late, going 3-for-32 (.094) over the last 12 games. The slump appears to have cost him the leadoff role against right-handers, as Alex Verdugo led off for the third consecutive game against a righty starter. Red Sox manager Alex Cora told Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com that he's spoken with the outfielder, who recently posted two Instagram stories that seemed to reference recurring struggles. One of those stories was captioned "falling back into that place I fought so hard to get out of." Duran has looked like a different hitter in 2023 and rebounded every time he hit a slump.

Dropped to seventh Duran batted seventh and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Thursday's 2-0 win over Kansas City.

Impact Duran has been the team's leadoff hitter the last month and usually sits against a lefty. The Royals used left-hander Austin Cox as an opener and planned to have righty Alec Marsh throw bulk innings, and Red Sox manager Alex Cora had Duran in the lineup to get at-bats against a righty. As it turned out, Cox threw two innings and faced Duran for his first at-bat. Marsh eventually finished off the game. The Red Sox open a series Friday against Detroit, which will start lefty Tarik Skubal, so expect Duran to sit in favor of Rob Refsnyder.

On bench to open Sunday's game Duran is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Refsnyder delivered Boston's third run, an insurance score to make it 3-1 before San Francisco plated a run in the bottom of the frame. It should be noted that as good as Duran has been in 2023, just 42 of his 295 plate appearances have come against left-handers. He has a .754 OPS against them, which is an improvement over his previous years in the majors, but Refsnyder has hammered southpaws in 2023, posting a .932 OPS against them.
