BOSTON -- Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran said he went public about his 2022 suicide attempt to "reach those who feel alone."

In an episode of the Netflix docuseries "The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox," Duran said he attempted suicide after struggling early in his baseball career.

"Talking about this wasn't easy, but it felt important," Duran said in a statement released through the team after the episode aired Tuesday. "I knew that if I was going to share this, I had to be real about it.

"A few years ago, I found myself in a dark place, but I'm still here, and I'm so lucky I am.
