Jarren Duran needed to be held back after a fan allegedly heckled him about suicide attempt
The Red Sox cruised to an easy win over the Guardians on Sunday, but the series win was briefly marred by the worst kind of fan behavior.
As part of the Netflix docuseries "The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox," outfielder Jarren Duran opened up about his suicide attempt in 2022. He said that he wanted to share his story in order to help others. Yet, before the seventh inning at Progressive Field, someone in the crowd evidently weaponized that revelation in order to heckle the outfielder.
Duran understandably reacted because, well, he's human. Umpires and the Red Sox coaching staff had to intervene to hold Duran back.
To the credit of the Guardians fans seated in the section, they all pointed out the fan to stadium security. According to the broadcast, that fan was ejected because the remarks clearly crossed a line.
There's no excuse to speak to someone like that. Duran would stay in the game and tack on an RBI double in the ninth inning.

Roman Anthony's first MLB hit is a 2-run double that propels Red Sox past Rays
Roman Anthony's second MLB game went better than his first. And it helped lead the Red Sox to a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Anthony went 0-for-4 with an RBI and an error in his MLB debut on Monday, just hours after the Red Sox called up the No. 1 prospect in baseball. The Red Sox lost to the Rays 10-8. Advertisement On Tuesday, Anthony got to work in his first at-bat. With runners on second and third in the bottom of the first inning, he faced an outside changeup from Rays starter Ryan Pepiot on a 1-2 count. Anthony swung and sent a line drive down the left-field line that rolled to the outfield wall. Two runs scored, and Anthony reached second for a go-ahead double on his first MLB hit. Not a bad way to start the career highlight reel. The runs off of Anthony's bat turned out to be all the Red Sox needed to secure the 3-1 win. Anthony finished 1-for-4 at the plate with two RBI and a strikeout. Can Anthony help Sox compete in AL East? A Red Sox team sitting near the bottom of the AL East standings (32-36 before Tuesday's game) and in need of an offensive injection called Anthony up from Triple-A Worcester following an injury to right fielder Wilyer Abreu. A 21-year-old outfielder, Anthony is filling in for Abreu in right and batting fifth in the Red Sox's lineup. Advertisement Just two nights prior to his call-up, Anthony showed off part of what makes him such a tantalizing prospect with a 497-foot grand slam for Worcester that was longer than any MLB home run this season. The Red Sox are certainly hoping he can build off Tuesday's breakthrough and provide a boost in the AL playoff race.

Red Sox's Alex Cora Calls Out Umpires Over Poor Call 'That Pitch Was a Ball'
Red Sox's Alex Cora Calls Out Umpires Over Poor Call 'That Pitch Was a Ball' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After the Boston Red Sox lost to the Tampa Bay Rays, there was a lot of frustration. It was an extra-inning thriller, but the Red Sox fell to the Rays after a terrible call had a huge impact on the game. Advertisement Late in the game, the Red Sox were in a precarious situation. With runners on first and second, and one out, in a two-run game, Romy Gonzalez watched a low pitch go by and began his trot to first for the walk. However, despite the pitch being below the strike zone on the TV broadcast, home plate umpire Junior Valentine called it a strike. Gonzalez was out, Cora was heated, and shortly thereafter was ejected. After the game, Cora called out the umpires for their poor strike-three call. "It was a ball," Cora said. "That pitch was a ball. It was down. He (Valentine) was really good, actually, during the day. But it was down." Advertisement A huge reason why that pitch was especially frustrating was in the prior half-inning, in the top of the 11th, Red Sox reliever Zack Kelly threw a pitch in the same area, and it was called a ball. Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora reacts after a strikeout during the eleventh inning of a game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Fluharty-Imagn Images The Rays benefitted both times from Valentine's decision, and while not the sole reason for the Red Sox's loss, it was a huge part in the outcome of the game. Despite the high energy from Roman Anthony's MLB debut, the Red Sox fell to the Rays in a tough loss following a bad call from the umpire. Cora's message wasn't too inflammatory. While he called out Valentine for the missed call, he also complimented him for his performance throughout the previous ten innings. Advertisement With how umpires aren't afraid of holding a grudge against players, teams, and managers, Cora's praise of Valentine isn't out of the ordinary. Instead of blasting Valentine, his complaint was a reasonable one, expressed clearly and respectfully. The Red Sox will not have to see Valentine behind the plate again in the series against the Rays, but will look to rebound from a crushing extra-inning loss to the Rays.

Masataka Yoshida 'Feels a Lot Better' Amid Latest Red Sox Injury Update
Masataka Yoshida 'Feels a Lot Better' Amid Latest Red Sox Injury Update originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Red Sox have a very interesting dilemma they have to deal with. After the Red Sox called up Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer as injury replacements, the Red Sox are running out of room for their star-studded offense. Advertisement A new report might make things even more complicated. According to Rob Bradford of WEEI, Red Sox outfielder and designated hitter Masataka Yoshida "feels a lot better." After Yoshida took a cortisone shot a couple of weeks ago, he began ramping up his recovery. Now, Yoshida is throwing from 105 feet, a significant improvement from where he stood a month ago. Bradford also reported that Yoshida has a timeline he's aiming for in his recovery. "(Yoshida) said his realistic goal is to be able to go on a rehab assignment later this month or early next month." This is a great report for both the Red Sox and Yoshida. The 31-year-old is in the third year of a five-year, $90 million deal he signed in the 2023 offseason with Boston. His eventual return to the lineup would be a huge addition, even if he comes up from the bench. Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida (7) celebrates after hitting a two-run home run against the New York Yankees in the sixth inning during spring training at George M. Steinbrenner Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images In 2024, Yoshida played in 108 games, and had 106 hits, 45 runs scored, 21 doubles, 10 home runs, and 56 RBIs in 378 at-bats. His slash line of .280/.349/.415 culminated in an OPS of.765, and an above-average OPS+ of 114. Advertisement Yoshida's first two seasons average 1.4 WAR, and a .775 OPS. He's an above-average hitter, but hasn't lived up to the hype of his $90 million deal he signed coming out of Japan. His return would make for a very crowded and talented outfield room. Jarren Duran, Ceddane Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, Anthony, and Yoshida would make up one of the deepest outfield groups in all of baseball. His return could also pave the way for the Red Sox to more justifiably ship off one of their outfielders. Regardless of the outcome of Yoshida's return, this update on his health is a welcome sign for the Red Sox and Yoshida. Yoshida is back on track to return to the lineup, and most importantly, Yoshida "feels a lot better."
