A year ago, Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran opened up about his mental health concerns, showing a level of transparency around an issue that has often been ignored in sports.
Recently, Duran — in the midst of his best season since making his Major League debut in 2021 — made several posts on his Instagram story indicating that he was again confronting struggles regarding his mental health.
Boston manager Alex Cora was asked about Duran’s post by reporters on Thursday, acknowledging that the team is aware of it.
“We’ve talked to the player, and we’ll keep it private,” Cora said of the specifics.
