The wait for Red Sox fans and minor league outfielder Jarren Duran is over: the organization’s No. 3 overall prospect has finally gotten his call to the big leagues.
The team promoted Duran to its 25-man roster ahead of its series with the New York Yankees to begin the second half of the 2021 season. Whether it happens Thursday or later in the four-game set, the top-100 prospect seems set to make his Major League debut at Yankee Stadium.
After showing out in Spring Training for the Sox, dominating Triple-A pitching and helping Team USA qualify for the Olympics, the young outfielder will get a chance to show off his emerging power and massive speed for a lineup that could use a dash of explosiveness.
