Exiting lineup Monday
Duran is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis
He'll take a seat for the second time in the Red Sox's first 10 games of the season as manager Alex Cora makes room in the lineup for Masataka Yoshida, who will serve as Boston's designated hitter in the series opener. Duran is one of multiple Boston hitters who has yet to get going at the dish amid the team's 2-7 start to the season; he's mustered a .200/.314/.267 slash line with zero home runs and two stolen bases over his 35 plate appearances.

Not starting Tuesday
Duran is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis
Duran went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base Opening Day but is hitless across the past three games, though he has still worked four walks during the latter stretch. Masataka Yoshida will receive a start at designated hitter and bat third versus Houston ace Hunter Brown.
