Caleb Durbin started at third base and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday’s 4-3 loss to Toronto. The homer came in the eighth inning and tied the game at 3-3. It also snapped an 0-for-16 stretch at the plate.
Fantasy Impact
Durbin recently went 15-for-44 with eight extra-base hits and nine RBI over 12 games from May 28 to June 10, but he is hitting .190/.250/.307 across 64 contests this season.
Durbin has gone 15-for-44 with five doubles, a triple, two home runs, nine RBI, and six runs scored over his last 12 games. He had just one homer entering Wednesday before hitting two in a span of two innings against Tampa Bay.
Fantasy Impact
Drew Rasmussen had blanked Boston through seven innings before Durbin led off the eighth with a solo shot off Cole Sulser and added another off Garrett Cleavinger in the ninth. He finished 3-for-4 in the 7-5 loss.
Durbin's average is at its highest point of the season at .193, and he has gone 9-for-24 with seven RBI, a stolen base, and three runs scored over his last six games. Wednesday's double extended his streak of consecutive games with an extra-base hit to six.
Fantasy Impact
He finished 2-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base, and two runs scored in the 8-1 win over Baltimore.
Durbin has gone 6-for-17 with three doubles, a triple, and six RBI across his last four consecutive starts, with an RBI in each game during that stretch. He used a recent stretch of limited playing time — just three starts over a 10-game span from May 17 to May 27 — to work on his hitting in the cage, identifying from his spray charts that he was cutting off half the field.
Fantasy Impact
"I think it's both a little bit of a mechanical adjustment as far as how I'm positioning my body to use the whole field and a little bit of approach, too," Durbin said. He finished 1-for-5 with a triple and two RBI in Sunday's 9-4 win over Cleveland.
Caleb Durbin went 1-for-4 in a 4-0 win over the Tigers with a double, one RBI, and one stolen base.
Fantasy Impact
Durbin has provided mixed results at the plate of late, picking up hits in three of his last six starts. The infielder remains one of many underwhelming options in a disappointing Red Sox lineup, slashing .178 with one home run, 13 RBI, 14 runs scored, and four stolen bases across 35 games.
