Jarren Duran on the Bench on Friday
Jarren Duran will sit out of Friday's series opener at Fenway Park against the division-rival New York Yankees with a left-hander on the mound. Rob Refsnyder is making the start in left field and will bat leadoff against Yankees southpaw Ryan Yarbrough. Duran takes a seat after starting each of the team's last 54 games. He was a first-time All-Star in a breakout season in 2024 and continues to contribute across all categories for fantasy managers in his fifth year in the big leagues with a .271/.325/.428 slash line with a .753 OPS, five homers, 38 RBI, 14 steals and 38 runs scored in a league-high 326 plate appearances. The 28-year-old also leads the league with seven triples. Refsnyder, known as a lefty killer, will be a DFS sleeper in the leadoff spot without much power. He's hitting .279 (12-for-43) with three of his four long balls in 2025 against southpaws.
