  • Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: On bench for fourth straight game

    Duran is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    After seeing his streak of six consecutive starts come to an end Saturday, Duran has now found himself on the bench for four straight contests. Duran's path to meaningful playing time appears to have come to a close with Josh Smith solidifying himself as Josh Jung's (wrist) primary replacement at third base and with first baseman Nathaniel Lowe having made his return from the injured list over the weekend.

  • Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Makes third straight start

    Duran started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Tigers.

    Duran made a third consecutive start and has hit safely in all three, going 4-for-12. Prior to this run, Duran's playing time was sporadic. The injury to third baseman Josh Jung (thumb) created an opportunity, but the lefty-hitting Josh Smith has been the main beneficiary.

  • Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Starts at third base

    Duran started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over Tampa Bay.

    The Rangers have used Duran and Josh Smith at third base following Josh Jung's wrist injury and subsequent surgery. His recovery time was pushed out Wednesday from six weeks to eight-to-10 weeks. Justin Foscue was called up and could get time at the hot corner as well.

  • Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Enters as pinch hitter

    Duran entered Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Tampa Bay as a pinch hitter and stayed in the game at third base. He went 0-for-1 with a walk.

    Duran pinch hit for Josh Smith, who had started at third base in place of the injured Josh Jung (thumb). The lefty-batting Smith started against a right-hander, while Duran cane into the game once a left-handed reliever entered for the Rays. While those two could form a platoon as Jung rehabs for at least the next six weeks, Justin Foscue could get opportunities there, too. Foscue was called up Tuesday and played 35 games at the hot corner while at Triple-A Round Rock in 2023.

  • Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Sitting Saturday vs. righty

    Duran is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

    Duran got the start at first base for the season opener Thursday against lefty Justin Steele (hamstring) and finished 1-for-3 with two strikeouts. With the Cubs starting right-hander Kyle Hendricks on Saturday, Jared Walsh will play first base and bat seventh.

  • Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Starts at first base

    Duran started at first base and went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Tuesday's spring game against Oakland.

    Duran got the start at first after a report earlier in the day indicated the Rangers' preference is to have Duran and Jared Walsh platoon at first base while Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) is on the injured list to start the season. If the Rangers are floating that, it could mean Duran would not be needed to cover shortstop for Corey Seager (groin), who has started swinging a bat and has not been ruled out for Opening Day.

  • Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Short-side platoon at first base?

    Duran could open the season in the short side of a platoon at first base with Jared Walsh while Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) is out, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    Duran might be needed at shortstop instead if Corey Seager (groin) isn't ready, but for now there seems to be optimism Seager can avoid the injured list. The 24-year-old Duran saw action at six different positions for the Rangers in 2023, not including designated hitter, and will fill a utility role again when the rest of the roster is healthy.
