Jarren Duran is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 6 (2023). Target Wiemer as a free agent outfielder on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Duran has been an on-again, off-again part of the Red Sox MLB roster as far back as 2021. Still, his total service time is just over 100 games deep, so take his career .685 OPS with a grain of salt.
The highly regarded prospect has made momentous strides and may finally be showcasing the offensive output necessary to stick in the big leagues.
3 doubles for Jarren Duran tonight.

Through 11 games this season, Duran is slashing .436/.455/.718 with a home run and eight doubles. His minor-league track record, plus a 70-grade run tool, further illustrates his impressive base-stealing upside. That has translated into two stolen bases this season, though Duran would have presumably accrued more if the majority of his hits didn't go for extra bases. Duran will eventually cool off at the plate, but he's capable of running up fantasy points in a multitude of ways if he continues to get the playing time.
