Jarren Duran

In their toughest week of the season, Boston has won two of three against Philadelphia and split the first two games with New York.

The Red Sox have remained patient with young players like Ceddanne Rafaela. They have proof on their roster why patience pays off.

Duran improved his aggressiveness on the bases and in the outfield last season with the help of Hudson’s tutelage.

"I feel more terrible about myself for getting hurt and not being able to do anything for the team," Duran said.

“I would (worry) for certain guys,” hitting coach Tim Hyers said of Duran's early scuffles. “But not for this one. Not Duran."

Three positive Yankee COVID tests saw Thursday's game postponed, and the additions of Jarren Duran and Tanner Houck put on hold.

A Duran call-up has been anticipated — almost breathlessly — since the start of the season. It comes Thursday against the Yankees.
