Caleb Durbin has transformed his season for the Boston Red Sox, hitting.321 with seven home runs and 21 RBI in his last 31 games. His performance contrasts sharply with a poor start where he slashed.163 over 48 games. Comparatively, Durbin's season stats now rival those of Alex Bregman, who the Red Sox lost to free agency. With Durbin only 26 years old and under team control for several more seasons, Boston appears to have found a viable long-term solution at third base.

- •Since May, Durbin's home runs and RBIs have increased significantly.
- •Bregman is slashing.243 this season, with comparable home run and RBI totals.
- •Durbin is six years younger than Bregman and has extended control with the team.
