The Boston Red Sox lineup has erased an offensive funk with a sudden surge. This time last year, Duran was named the All-Star Game MVP. The outfielder culminated his breakout 2024 campaign with 111 runs scored and MLB’s fourth-most extra-base hits behind Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge and Bobby Witt Jr. This season has been much more of a grind for Duran, who’s batting .255/.313/.412 with six home runs after hitting .210 in June.
