The Red Sox announced on Monday that outfielder Jarren Duran will receive a two-game unpaid suspension following an incident in Sunday’s game in which he used a homophobic slur toward a fan.
Duran, 27, will miss the first two games of Boston’s upcoming series at Fenway Park against the Rangers. His salary for the two games will be donated to PFLAG (Federation of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), which the team described in a statement as “the United States’ largest organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people and those who love them.
