The Rangers added Duran to their World Series roster Tuesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Duran will be added to the roster as a replacement for Adolis Garcia, who suffered an oblique injury on a swing during Game 3. Duran slashed .276/.324/.443 across 439 plate appearances during the regular season, but he has yet to register a plate appearance in the postseason and will likely be used off the bench during the final games of the Fall Classic.
Ezequiel Duran Left off Rangers' WC roster
Duran is not on the Rangers' AL Wild Card Series roster, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.
Analysis: Duran was a revelation for the Rangers in the first half, but he faded badly after the All-Star break and hardly played down the stretch, so his exclusion from the team's first-round roster doesn't come as a big surprise. The Rangers are carrying three catchers on their roster.
