Jarren Duran, Tanner Houck Back From Restricted List
2 years agoThe Boston Red Sox activated outfielder Jarren Duran and right-hander Tanner Houck from the restricted list on Thursday and optioned infielder Yolmer Sanchez to Triple-A Worcester and designated right-hander Silvino Bracho for assignment in corresponding moves. Duran and Houck were unavailable for the series against the Blue Jays in Toronto this week because they aren't vaccinated against COVID. Duran is hitting well in his second major league season, going 17-for-52 (.327) with three RBI and four stolen bases in just 13 games. Houck, who has six saves and 47 strikeouts in 47 1/3 innings over 22 outings (four starts), should return to being a favorite for closing duties in Boston this weekend against the Chicago Cubs.
