Rangers Calling Up Ezequiel Duran Saturday
3 years agoThe Texas Rangers are calling up No. 4 prospect Ezequiel Duran from Double-A Frisco on Saturday. Per MLB Pipeline, Duran is the No. 76 overall prospect in baseball, and he was slashing .317/.365/.574 with a .939 OPS, seven home runs, 24 doubles, 31 RBI, 34 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 200 plate appearances over 45 games for Frisco before his call-up. The 23-year-old will make his MLB debut and start at third base on Saturday against Seattle Mariners left-hander Marco Gonzales. Duran was acquired from the Yankees as part of the Joey Gallo trade. He has never played above Double-A, but he has speed to spare and can play all over the infield. Duran is an aggressive hitter with explosive raw power, and he should be added in deep mixed and AL-only leagues.
