9/08/24 | Royals, Twins try to improve postseason positioning in AL Central clash. As the visiting Minnesota Twins look to avoid a weekend sweep against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon, they will hope for better results from their usually solid bullpen. Leading the Royals 2-0 entering the eighth inning Saturday, Minnesota's Jhoan Duran surrendered three runs while Griffin Jax allowed three additional hits and a run as Kansas City stormed back for a 4-2 win. "We have a two-run lead in the eighth with our two best rested and ready to go," Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said of his expectations. Duran, who entered the game Saturday with baseball's fifth-best save conversion rate, took his ninth relief loss and fourth in his past nine outings while Jax, who has 23 holds, got his fifth blown save.

5/31/24 | Opponents are hitting Jhoan Duran, Twins think it's a matter of execution. Called to the mound to lock down a victory over division rival Kansas City at Target Field on Tuesday, Jhoan Duran was greeted by a double off the scoreboard in right-center by Royals catcher Salvador Perez. “Really,” Duran said afterward, “I don't know how he touched the pitch.” Perez is one baseball's hottest hitters right now — and one of the best at clobbering pitches out of the zone — but he hasn't been alone. Dairon Blanco pinch ran and was thrown out trying to steal second for the first out, and Duran fanned MJ Melendez for the second before Nick Loftin grounded back to the mound for the final out in a 4-2 victory.

5/01/24 | Twins option Funderburk, select Caleb Boushley. A day after the Minnesota Twins got a boost with the return of closer Jhoan Duran, the club has made another bullpen move.

If he makes it into a game with the Twins, it'd be just his second MLB appearance, as he pitched the final 2.1 innings and got a win for the Brewers of the Cubs on Sept. 29, 2023.
