2023 Fantasy Outlook
Duran is an exciting potential of ingredients who frankly needs more time to bake in the minors. He has the raw tools to be a successful fantasy contributor at some point in his professional career, but 2023 is unlikely to be that time as his impatience at the plate and issues making contact have gotten the better of him at the upper levels of the sport. He would seemingly enter the spring in competition with Josh Jung for the third base job, and could very well earn it if the near year-long layoff for Jung comes into play during March. Duran will likely make the roster in a reserve capacity but the club may also decide regular at bats in Triple-A is better for him. Given the experienced and expensive depth on the roster, a solid spring from Jung almost guarantees a red tag hanging from Duran's locker after a late March game. Read Past Outlooks
Heads to IL with oblique discomfort
The Rangers placed Duran on the 10-day injured list Saturday with mild right oblique discomfort.
ANALYSIS
Duran was already set to miss a third consecutive game Saturday in Baltimore due to the injury, and with his injury evidently being viewed as more than a day-to-day concern, the Rangers opted to deactivate him. The transaction is retroactive to Wednesday, meaning that the 24-year-old is eligible to return June 3. Josh Smith or the newly activated Travis Jankowski (hamstring) are the top candidates to replace Duran's spot in the Rangers' everyday lineup.

Stat Review
How does Ezequiel Duran compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
An outstanding small-sample Dominican Summer League performance in 2017 and reports of explosive athleticism have had Duran on the dynasty-league radar for a couple years, but it wasn't until his 2019 season in the New York-Penn League that the substance started to match the hype. He cut his groundball rate to a career-best 42.2% en route to leading the league with 13 homers -- his 143 wRC+ ranked fifth among hitters 20 and under. While he stole 11 bases on 15 tries, his athleticism has declined since he signed in 2017, and he now projects as a strong second baseman with big thump in his bat. The key for Duran in the coming years will be improving his approach. A 27.8 K% for a 20-year-old in short-season ball does not portend an impressive BA or OBP at Low-A, so it should not be a huge surprise if he struggles early in 2020.
