Fantasy Impact
Durbin has offered mixed results at the plate of late, picking up hits in four of his last eight games. The 26-year-old remains one of many underwhelming options in the Red Sox lineup to this point, slashing .165 with one home run, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored, and one stolen base across 25 games.
Durbin played third base for Milwaukee last season and has received some work at second base during spring training. Manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Durbin will serve as Boston's primary third baseman this season.
Fantasy Impact
Most fantasy platforms will list Durbin as eligible only at third base to begin the year. Additional playing time at second base could grant in-season eligibility at that position. Marcelo Mayer and Isiah Kiner-Falefa are competing for the second base starting role.
Caleb Durbin entered camp with the Red Sox fully healthy and is expected to see reps at second base.
Fantasy Impact
Durbin underwent arthroscopic surgery on his elbow back in October. Boston wants to see him stretch out his arm to ensure he is fully healthy.
Caleb Durbin fielded grounders at third base on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Durbin was acquired by the Boston Red Sox last week in a six-player deal with the Milwaukee Brewers. While an everyday role was expected, his position was uncertain. After taking grounders at third base on Friday and with Marcelo Mayer at second, it appears those will be their positions during the regular season. Durbin posted a .256/.334/.387 slash line with 18 stolen bases across 136 games last season.
