Jarren Duran Hits The Bench Monday
1 year agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran is not in the starting lineup Monday night against the Kansas City Royals and left-hander Cole Ragans. Of course, it's hardly a surprise to see the lefty-swinging Duran hitting the bench against a southpaw pitcher but Rob Refsnyder, who will take over in center field and hit leadoff on Monday, has posted excellent figures versus lefties this season. Duran has still hit .286 with a .solid .731 OPS versus lefties this season but has excelled against righties, hitting .312 with seven homers, 30 doubles, two triples, 21 stolen bases, and an .883 OPS against opposite-handed pitching this season.
