Rodolfo Durán - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Recalled from Triple-A The Padres recalled Duran from Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

Impact Duran will serve as a third catcher for the Padres, potentially allowing the club to use Luis Campusano more in its designated hitter spot. The 28-year-old Duran has slashed just .146/.222/.305 in 35 games with the big club this season.

Sent down to Triple-A The Padres optioned Duran to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

Impact With Freddy Fermin (head) now back from the injured list, the Padres will send Duran back down to the minors to avoid carrying three catchers on their active roster. The 28-year-old backstop has slashed just .146/.222/.305 across 91 plate appearances with the big club this season but would likely return to San Diego if the Friars' catcher depth is tested again later in the year.

Retreating to bench Duran is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Impact For about a two-week stretch earlier this month, Duran served as the Padres' No. 1 catcher, but he's faded into more of a timeshare since Freddy Fermin returned from the 7-day injured list Tuesday. Though Fermin and Duran have now started three times apiece over the last six games, the playing time will likely tilt more in Fermin's direction once he's further removed from a concussion.

Goes deep again Sunday Duran went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three total RBI and two total runs in a 5-2 win against Baltimore on Sunday.

Impact With Freddy Fermin placed on the 7-day injured list early Sunday due to a concussion, Duran got the start behind the plate. He ended up being the star of San Diego's offense, producing both of the team's extra-base hits (an RBI double and a two-run homer) from the No. 9 spot in the batting order. Duran also went deep Saturday after entering for Fermin late in the contest, and he now has four extra-base hits (two doubles, two homers) and four RBI over his past nine plate appearances. Duran should serve as the Padres' primary catcher until Fermin or Luis Campusano (toe) returns to action. He's still batting a meager .176 on the campaign, but half of his six hits have left he park, and he went deep 15 times over 85 contests with Triple-A El Paso last season, so he could provide some temporary pop for fantasy managers in need of a backstop, particularly in two-catcher leagues.

Homers after late entry Duran hit a solo home run in his only at-bat during Saturday's 9-3 win against the Orioles.

Impact Freddy Fermin started behind the plate for San Diego, but he had to leave after taking a warm-up pitch from Yuki Matsui to the head area before the bottom of the sixth inning. Duran then entered and finished out the contest, and he belted a solo homer to left field in his lone plate appearance in the eighth frame. Luis Campusano remains on the IL due to a toe injury, so if Fermin needs to miss additional time, Duran figures to take over as the Padres' primary catcher.
