Duran is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Duran has gone 3-for-37 with a 3:13 BB:K over his last 10 games, so the Red Sox will spare the left-handed-hitting outfielder from a matchup with a southpaw starter (Carlos Rodon) while he's stuck in an extended rut at the dish. Nate Eaton will replace Duran in left field and will bat leadoff.
