Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Be it by design or happenstance, Duran fanned at a career-low clip in 2024, but it came at the expense of exit velocity and the resulting drops in hard-hit rate and barrel rate. The declines cost Duran playing time as he was often eschewed, even with three-quarters of the Rangers infield missing chunks of action. After posting a .619 OPS, Duran was demoted to Triple-A Round Rock in late June, where he stayed for a month. Things got worse after he returned with Duran recording a .591 OPS the rest of the way. Duran appeared everywhere but catcher, so his versatility is ideal for a Swiss army knife role. Dual eligibility (with the chance of more) is a plus, but unless Duran gets back to driving the ball, he's relegated to AL-only duty. Read Past Outlooks
Swipes two bags off bench
Duran stole two bases as a pinch runner in Monday's 10-6 extra-innings loss to the Orioles.
ANALYSIS
Duran swiped second and third after pinch running for Kyle Higashioka in the ninth inning. The Rangers left him stranded on third, and while they rallied to keep the game going in the 10th, they couldn't pull off a second comeback in the 11th. Duran is not seeing consistent playing time as a reserve infielder, which makes sense since he went just 4-for-23 (.174) with eight strikeouts over 13 games in June. Most of his starts are likely to be against left-handed pitchers, but his real value comes from versatility off the bench. Duran is batting just .138 this season while adding three steals, two RBI, four runs scored, four doubles and no home runs over 66 plate appearances.

Stat Review
How does Ezequiel Duran compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2020
Duran emerged as a force for the Rangers and for fantasy managers in the first three months last season, slashing a robust .320/.361/.557 with 12 home runs over 233 plate appearances. The 24-year-old's over-aggressiveness eventually caught up to him, though, as he bottomed out from July on with a .225/.283/.310 line and just two homers in 59 contests. Duran's last start of the regular season came on Sept. 15 and he didn't play in the playoffs during the Rangers' run to the World Series. The poor finish puts Duran's future playing time in a precarious spot, although working in his favor is his ability to play all over the field. Duran has some loud tools, as his 96th percentile max exit velocity and 91st percentile sprint speed can attest. He's been a free swinger since his minor-league days, though, so it's fair to question whether he'll ever make enough contact for those tools to shine through.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Offseason trade possible
Duran is a candidate to be traded by the Rangers during the offseason, reports Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News.
ANALYSIS
The utility man underwhelmed at the plate this year with a .609 OPS in 92 contests, and Texas already has a superior utility option in Josh Smith when the rest of its infield is healthy. Duran likely won't significantly move the needle on the trade market by himself, but he could be included as part of a multi-player package.
