Ezequiel Duran MIA......what happened?

Has Bochy lost confidence in Duran? He's MIA for over a week and no known injury. I understand he's cooled off considerably from the first half but it was looking like he was going to be a useful everyday player for TX. Is he nothing more than a UT player going forward and Carter is the new flavor of the month in LF? Is he worth keeping at $3 in a 12 team AL only 5x5 H2H keeper league for next season as he has multiple position eligibility. $260 draft day team salary.

Flavor of the month? Carter is one of the top prospects in MLB.

With Jung back, there's no place for Duran to play, and he's not forcing the issue.

I guess he's not a terrible keeper, but he's not the type of guy I prefer freezing. Your team, your call.

Yeah, I wrote that with a bit of sarcasm although the Rangers have been running a number of players out in LF. While he is ranked as a top prospect the highway it littered with many who flop or don't perform as expected. I suspect I'll throw Duran back into the pool unless it looks like he gets a starting gig. If he was being used as a super UT and pretty much would play 5 games/week I could justify keeping him. Thanks for your help.
