Rotowire
Duran moved from third base to first base Saturday when Jake Burger (wrist) was removed after getting hit by a pitch.
Duran has played defense at four different positions over the last four contests and made his second appearance at first base. He hasn't been able to call any one position home this season but has thrived in a utility role and as a fill-in for injured starters. Lately, Duran has been filling in at the hot corner for Josh Jung (calf), but Cody Freeman could see more action there if Duran is needed across the diamond.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Cracks 11th homer in loss
Rotowire
Duran went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Mariners.
Duran plated a run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning before launching a 420-foot solo homer to left field in the eighth inning, though the Rangers were unable to muster a late-game comeback. The club has shifted the 27-year-old around the diamond defensively as needed, and his offensive production has remained consistent. In 96 games, Duran is slashing .271/.322/.447 with 11 homers, 55 RBI, 46 runs and seven stolen bases.
Duran started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over Seattle.
Duran made a second consecutive start at third base, while Josh Jung tends to a sore calf. The injury was not considered serious when Jung left Tuesday's game, but the Rangers held him out of Wednesday's game, figuring he'd be ready to go after Thursday's off day. He tested the injury Friday, per Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, and was unable to go full speed. Wilson added the Rangers will probably need to make a decision about placing Jung on the injured list Saturday. However it plays out, Duran is expected to fill in at third base for as long as needed. He's hit safely in four straight games.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Shifts to third base
Rotowire
Duran started at shortstop and went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-0 win over the White Sox.
Duran, who's been filling in for injured shortstop Corey Seager (back), shifted to third base mid-game when Josh Jung (calf) was removed in the fourth inning. It sounds like Jung's injury is not serious -- he told Kennedi Landry of MLB.com that he should be good to go Wednesday -- so Duran should move back to shortstop soon. Regardless of which position the versatile Duran plays, he should remain a regular in the middle of the batting order. He's posted a slash line of .268/.323/.433 with 10 home runs, 51 RBI, seven steals and 43 runs over 92 games.
