Jarren Duran returned to the Red Sox lineup on Wednesday after serving an unpaid, two-game suspension imposed by the team after the outfielder directed a homophobic slur toward a fan during Sunday’s game at Fenway Park.
Duran, who batted leadoff on Wednesday against the Rangers, addressed the media before the game.
