Duran is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays. Duran started the previous three games but will sit Tuesday while in the midst of a 1-for-15 slump. Justin Foscue will bat ninth as the designated hitter versus Toronto righty Chris Bassitt.

Duran is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Seattle. Duran has been picking up starts at a multitude of positions since Corey Seager (hip) landed on the 10-day injured list. Until Thursday, Duran had made five consecutive starts, but he went hitless in the last two games as the designated hitter. Adolis Garcia is in the lineup as the designated hitter Thursday while Josh Smith is starting at shortstop.

Duran started at designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Tuesday's 6-0 loss to Arizona. Duran made a fourth consecutive start and sixth over the last seven contests. During that run, he's played left field, second base, shortstop, third base and DH while going 7-for-20 with four extra-base hits, two walks, five RBI and five runs scored. The opportunities could dry up when Corey Seager (hip) returns.

Duran went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Angels. Duran has hit safely in all five of his games in September, going 7-for-18 (.389) with a homer, five RBI and three doubles in that span. His blast stretched the Rangers' lead to 4-0 in the second inning Sunday. Duran is up to a .256/.295/.336 slash line with three homers, 19 RBI, 24 runs scored, nine doubles and one stolen base over 237 plate appearances this season. Duran has filled a utility role in the infield with the Rangers using a handful of players as replacements for Corey Seager (hip) at shortstop. In September alone, Duran has seen starts at second base, third base, shortstop and in left field.

Duran started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Angels. The Rangers have used a few bodies to cover shortstop since Corey Seager (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Duran, who joined Jonathan Ornelas and Josh Smith as part of the fill-in crew, has hit safely in three consecutive games and is batting .250 (10-for-40) since returning the majors in late July. He was a competent bench bat for the 2023 World Series champions but has been unable to repeat that level of production in 2024.
