Report: Red Sox to promote top OF prospect Jarren Duran
The Boston Red Sox will promote top outfield prospect Jarren Duran, who could make his major league debut Thursday against the New York Yankees, according to a report Wednesday from the Worcester Telegraph & Gazette.
Duran, 24, is hitting .270 with 15 home runs, 32 RBIs and 12 stolen bases in 46 games with Triple-A Worcester this season. He has started at all three outfield positions but is projected as a center fielder for the Red Sox.
The Red Sox will need to make a corresponding move to add Duran to the 40-man roster.
Boston selected the California native out of Long Beach State in the seventh round in 2018. He is listed as a top-100 prospect (No. 86) by MLB.com.
