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

Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
