Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Recalled, will start Monday
The Rangers recalled Duran from Triple-A Round Rock, and he'll start at designated hitter and bat seventh Monday against the Cardinals. Duran is back with the big club for the first time in just over a month, joining the Rangers as a replacement on the active roster for Justin Foscue, who was optioned to Round Rock. The 25-year-old slashed an impressive .277/.302/.554 with five home runs and five stolen bases over his 19-game stint in the minors, but Duran likely won't be in store for everyday playing time as he rejoins Texas. Though he's out of the lineup Monday, Josh Jung (wrist) was activated from the 60-day injured list and is expected to take on a regular role beginning with Tuesday's game in St. Louis. Duran is expected to head to the bench to open up a spot in the lineup for Jung, but Duran could still get steady at-bats against left-handed pitching while he's with the Rangers.
