Durán scored on Burger’s triple with a head-first slide; his speed and baserunning presence added depth to the Rangers’ lineup during a critical comeback.

Duran earns added run at-bats with Semien out, elevating his fantasy ceiling as he slashes into more regular action. Expect a mid-infield spark in the short term, with potential for RBI and stolen-base upside if his playing time remains stable and he taps into a hot streak.

Duran is set to share second-base duties with Moore and Freeman, giving him a steady route to regular at-bats. His growing versatility and defensive flexibility pair with a chance to contribute in run production and speed. Durán’s role could become a fantasy sleeper if he earns consistent daily playing time and lineup placement.

Duran doubled home Langford in the fifth, adding another RBI and contributing to the mid-game onslaught that widened the Rangers’ lead.

Durán is the front-runner at second in Semien’s absence, carrying a hot bat and improved timing, including a .378/.404/.467 over 15 games with steady contact gains. His earlier SS work in Seager’s absence showcases his multi-position value.
