Jarren Duran

Jarren Duran, Rafael Devers, Ceddanne Rafaela and the gang have been a fun bunch to watch. Craig Breslow should aim for October.

Duran is the second Boston player to win the Ted Williams All-Star Game MVP award since the league named it for the Hall of Famer in 2002.

So much has been said and written about how Duran has been playing this season that it’s easy to forget the what-ifs of previous seasons.

As Brayan Bello got back on track, the offense kept tearing it up in a 7-3 victory in Toronto.

In their toughest week of the season, Boston has won two of three against Philadelphia and split the first two games with New York.

The Red Sox have remained patient with young players like Ceddanne Rafaela. They have proof on their roster why patience pays off.

Duran improved his aggressiveness on the bases and in the outfield last season with the help of Hudson’s tutelage.

"I feel more terrible about myself for getting hurt and not being able to do anything for the team," Duran said.

The standings look bleak, and now center fielder Jarren Duran will have surgery and is done for the year.

In a situation where every win and loss carry exaggerated importance, the Red Sox are giving away games at the worst possible time.

Many of the Red Sox's winter moves haven't panned out. But some of their young players are showing promise beyond 2023.

Duvall has returned after a 60-day absence, but the Red Sox have found ways to get Duran regular playing time regardless.

Ken Rosenthal with the latest from around Major League Baseball.

The Red Sox won only three games against the Blue Jays in 2022. They lost 16. They were determined to wipe away those memories.

Changes to his swing, his batting practice routine, and most importantly his mentality have Duran showing renewed promise early on.

For the moment, the Red Sox are going with major league options. But Duran's chance is likely to come soon.

"It’s not always easy," he said. If it’s possible to be vague and honest at the same time, Bloom straddled that razor-thin line Wednesday.

The just-missed list includes players from the Astros, Dodgers, Red Sox, Rockies, Orioles and more.
