For the Red Sox, lack of performance from the outfield has them making an adjustment by recalling Jarren Duran. Entering Firday night, the Sox were receiving little production from the trio of Kike Hernandez (slashing .189/.262/.305 with one homer), Alex Verdugo (three homers, .217/.255/.337 slash line) and Jackie Bradley Jr., who is lucky he can play great defense because his bat has been quiet for years now.
