Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran is going to have to spend some time on the shelf.
On Tuesday evening, Boston announced that Duran will be placed on the 10-day IL (retroactive to Aug. 21) due to a left great toe sprain.
The Red Sox made several corresponding moves ahead of Tuesday’s road matchup against the Astros.
Tanner Houck was reinstated from the 15-day IL and is expected to pitch on Tuesday night against Justin Verlander.
It will be the righty’s first appearance in the big leagues since June 16, with Houck on the mend for over two months while recovering from a facial fracture.
