Ezequiel Duran Stats

The Texas Rangers recalled infield prospect Ezequiel Duran from Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday and placed infielder/outfielder Brad Miller (neck) on the 10-day injured list with a neck strain in a corresponding move. Duran was immediately put into the starting lineup on Thursday against the Miami Marlins at second base while hitting ninth. In his first 16 major league games earlier this year, the 23-year-old Dominican went 16-for-62 (.258) with two homers, a triple, three doubles, eight RBI and two stolen bases while striking out 17 times. The Rangers' No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, should see occasional starts now that he's back with Texas, making him a potential addition in deeper fantasy leagues. Duran was slashing a combined .310/.354/.579 with a .933 OPS, 13 home runs, 48 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 63 games for Double-A Frisco and Round Rock.

The Texas Rangers optioned second baseman Ezequiel Duran and pitcher Taylor Hearn to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday. Duran was in a platoon role following his call-up on June 4. He struggled recently, hitting .067 (1-for-15) over his last four games. Duran couldn't find any playing time in a loaded Rangers infield that included Corey Seager and Marcus Semien and was sent back down to pick up everyday at-bats. Hearn struggled after posting a 6.25 ERA and 1.75 WHIP with 54 punchouts over 59 innings. The 27-year-old was recently demoted to the bullpen over the weekend after starting the season in the rotation. Hearn will head to Triple-A Round Rock and could be a top candidate to get recalled later in the season. The Rangers will make corresponding moves on Sunday.

Texas Rangers infielder Ezequiel Duran drove in three runs against the Detroit Tigers Thursday, going 1-for-4 with a triple. Duran now has eight RBI on the season in just 47 at-bats. He's also added two homers, two steals, and eight runs scored. With regular playing time coming his way since his June 4 call-up and a .319/.333/.553 slash line to his name, Duran has made himself a genuine fantasy asset. His value only climbs higher in keeper and dynasty formats.
