Jarren Duran Could Face Potential Suspension
4 months agoMajor League Baseball is considering its options regarding the incident with Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran, and a decision will be reached later on Monday or no later than Tuesday. In previous instances, the league has worked with teams and approved discipline levied by a club. Television microphones picked up Duran's use of a homophobic slur directed at a fan during Sunday's contest against the Houston Astros. At the very least, fantasy managers should expect the 27-year-old to miss the upcoming series against the Texas Rangers that starts on Monday. But outside of that, it's unclear how long Duran might be forced to sit out. Duran was a first-time All-Star this year and won the Midsummer Classic MVP award. He's having a breakout year and leads the league in plate appearances (541), doubles (36) and triples (13) while slashing .291/.350/.503 in 116 games.
