Duran started at third base and went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Mariners.
Duran got the nod at the hot corner as Josh Jung (wrist/hand) was unavailable for a second consecutive game. Jonathan Ornelas and Duran have filled in for Jung the last two games and could finish out the season in that role. Saturday's loss eliminated the Rangers from the postseason, which could prompt the team to shut down Jung for the rest of the season.
