Enter Duran, a versatile outfielder who has been squeezed for at-bats in a long Red Sox lineup. When outfielder/DH Masataka Yoshida returned from a season-long IL stint last week, it left four spots for five players — himself, Duran, Cedanne Rafaela, Roman Anthony and Wilyer Abreu.

The Boston Red Sox are going to be an interesting team to watch over the next few weeks leading up to the trade deadline. They are in the mix at 46-45, just 6 1/2 games back in the American League East.

The Boston Red Sox could make a lot of different moves in the coming weeks. But there's one player who should end up on the trade block no matter what.
