Caleb Durbin shows improvement for Red Sox after slow start
Summary

Caleb Durbin has begun to regain form after a rough start to the season with the Boston Red Sox. Initially struggling with a.166 average and only one home run, Durbin has recently hit.357 over five games, raising his season stats to.182/.251/.270. The Red Sox traded for Durbin following Alex Bregman's departure, hoping his performance would improve at Fenway Park. If he falters again, a possible return to the minors may be in order to help him find his swing.
