Jarren Duran was suspended by Major League Baseball and the Red Sox for two games Monday after he called a fan a homophobic slur during Sunday’s game against the Houston Astros.
Major League Baseball and the Red Sox suspended Boston outfielder Jarren Duran for two games Monday after he called a fan a homophobic slur in an outburst captured on a telecast of Sunday’s game against the Houston Astros. The unpaid suspension begins immediately, excluding Duran from Monday night’s game at Fenway Park against the Texas Rangers. Duran’s prorated salary for the suspended game days is being diverted to PFLAG , MLB and the team said in a joint statement.
After the game, which Boston lost 10-2, Duran issued a statement apologizing for his reaction, describing the word he used as “truly horrific” and saying he intends to learn from the incident. “I feel awful knowing how many people I offended and disappointed,” Duran said. “I apologize to the entire Red Sox organization, but more importantly to the entire LGBTQ community. Our young fans are supposed to be able to look up to me as a role model, but tonight I fell far short of that responsibility.
