He was originally diagnosed with a left toe sprain, and the level of damage <a href="https://twitter.com/IanMBrowne/status/1696617765841322420" rel="noopener">was enough</a> to warrant surgery, according to Ian Browne of MLB.com.</p><p>Duran is expected to be back for the Sox by spring training, according to his manager Alex Cora. The team will hope he can recover quickly and continue to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-news-jarren-duran-ties-team-record-with-4-doubles-in-win-over-blue-jays" rel="noopener">build on his breakout season</a> for the Sox. Duran hit .295 in 102 games of his third season, after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-news-jarren-duran-parting-message-from-alex-cora-before-being-sent-down" rel="noopener">struggling to get going</a> in limited action the last two seasons.</p><p>The injury news comes at a terrible time for Boston, as they are still fighting to hold on in the AL wildcard race. They have lost two in a row, and are in the midst of a series against the Houston Astros, the team with the final spot. With just over a month remaining, every game matters immensely, and a slip in the standings can be the end of the playoff push.</p><p>At 5 games back and fading fast, the Red Sox will need a massive winning streak against wildcard teams to have a chance at the playoffs. The AL East makes up the first three teams on the outside looking in, with the Rays holding the first wildcard spot. They have all had promising seasons, but the Sox, Yankees, and Blue Jays may all miss the cut due to injuries and inconsistencies.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Duran credits his turnaround to a fiery NSFW message from <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-legend-dustin-pedroia-announces-retirement-from-mlb" rel="noopener">Red Sox legend</a> Dustin Pedroia.</p><p>Pedroia <a href="https://theathletic.com/4503697/2023/05/10/mlb-red-sox-jarren-duran-yankees-rangers/" rel="noopener">worked with</a> Duran on his swing over spring training. As he watched him in the cage, Pedroia wanted Duran to get mad, via Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.</p><p>“Put your hands up like you’re ready to f***ing hit me,” Pedroia said.</p><p>Duran didn’t view them as fighting words however. The outfielder was inspired and used Pedroia’s lessons to show massive improvement on the diamond in 2023.</p><p>“He basically just told me, get your hands up, be athletic, act like you’re going to hit the f***ing s**t out of the ball,” Duran said. “For him to say that to me, I was like, ‘Hell yeah. I’m going to buy in.”</p><p>The former top prospect has appeared in 21 games thus far this season. Duran is hitting .360 with two home runs, 13 RBI and five stolen bases. He is leading the team in batting average, stolen bases and on-base percentage (.405).</p><p>Last season, Jarren Duran appeared in 58 games – his highest at the MLB level. However, he struggled, hitting .221 with three home runs, 17 RBI and seven stolen bases.</p><p>In less than half that time, Duran has almost matched last season’s numbers. He has been a catalyst for Boston’s offense in the wake of Adam Duvall’s injury.</p><p>Dustin Pedroia knows a thing or two about succeeding with the Red Sox. After lighting a spark under him, Pedroia is seeing the fruits of his labor pay off in Duran’s breakout season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Nonetheless, if there is one thing his stint with Boston has proven, it’s the fact that he still needs some polishing and experience to really succeed in the MLB.</p><p>Hopefully Duran heeds Alex Cora’s advice and works on his weaknesses. That should ensure that he’ll be able to stay in the major league when his name is called up again.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
