Through Sunday, he&#8217;s 2-for-28, which is a .071 batting average.<\/p>\n<p>MORE:\u00a0<a target=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/ca\/mlb\/new-york-yankees\/news\/yankees-outfielder-battled-ostrich-11-plate-spaghetti-eating-contest\/db7ab397cfd963fbafd93a72\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Yankees outfielder once battled ostrich in 11-plate spaghetti-eating contest<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After a solid MLB debut season in 2025 with Milwaukee, Durbin is making weak contact and really struggling.<\/p>\n<p>Harrison, on the other hand, is thriving.<\/p>\n<p>He only came to the Red Sox midway through last season in the Rafael Devers trade with the Giants, and Harrison didn&#8217;t get to stick around long.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s begun this season in Milwaukee&#8217;s MLB rotation, and through two starts, he has a 2.61 ERA and a 1-0 record.<\/p>\n<p>Still just 24, Harrison has 14 strikeouts and just three walks in 10.1 innings pitched, both fantastic ratios.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Sox could sure use an arm like that in their pitching rotation, but they felt that between Durbin and Monasterio, they&#8217;d fill a gap in their infield after Alex Bregman departed.<\/p>\n<p>So far, it still pretty much feels like a gap in the field.
