Ezequiel Durán has been a big solution for the playoff-chasing Texas Rangers this season. He has started games at six different defensive positions while hitting .276 with 13 homers and a career-high 63 RBIs.
Durán’s Impact on the Team
Durán’s versatility has been a key factor in the Rangers’ success. He has played multiple positions in 23 games, including both infield and outfield in 13 of those. His two-run double in the eighth inning of a recent game put the Rangers up 4-2, and his RBI double in the bottom of the ninth ended the game.
Manager Skip Schumaker praised Durán, saying, “He has been that the whole year.” The Rangers acquired Durán from the Yankees in a multiplayer deadline trade in 2021. He made his big league debut with the Rangers in 2022 and played a key utility role in their only World Series championship in 2023.
