Ezequiel Duran Taking Day Off Thursday
2 years agoTexas Rangers infielder/outfielder Ezequiel Duran is not in the team's starting lineup on Thursday against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels. Duran has just one hit in his last four games, so it's a good time for a breather for the 24-year-old Dominican infielder. In nine games in the month of June, he has gone 8-for-30 (.267) with two doubles, a home run and five RBI in 34 trips to the plate. Duran has become fantasy relevant earlier than expected for Texas and has the raw tools to continue playing every day because of his versatility. So far in just his second major-league season, Duran is hitting an impressive .295 (49-for-166) with 10 doubles, eight home runs, 28 RBI, three stolen bases and 25 runs scored in 49 games. He's currently rostered in 67 percent of Yahoo leagues.
