Eligibility
Ezequiel Duran went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Rangers' 5-3 loss to the Twins.
Fantasy Impact
This performance marks Duran's first home run of the season, bringing a slight uptick to his modest power numbers. With a season batting average of .284 and a .308 wOBA, Duran has been a somewhat reliable option in deeper fantasy leagues, primarily due to his batting average and BABIP of .377. However, his low walk rate (.077) and high strikeout rate (.240) continue to limit his upside. Fantasy managers should view Duran as a potential depth piece, particularly in formats that reward extra bases, but should temper expectations given his current power production and plate discipline metrics.

Ezequiel Duran went 3-for-4 with an RBI in the Rangers' thrilling 12-11 win over the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
His performance included three singles, contributing significantly to the team's offensive onslaught. This game marks a positive uptick for Duran, who has been struggling to make a significant impact with a modest .262 batting average and only 4 RBI over 24 games this season. His ability to get on base, as evidenced by his .364 BABIP, suggests potential for improvement, but his high strikeout rate of 25.4% remains a concern for fantasy managers. Moving forward, if Duran can harness more consistency at the plate, he might evolve into a more reliable fantasy option, especially in deeper leagues or as a streaming choice against favorable pitching matchups.
