Duran was with the big club briefly earlier this season but didn't make an appearance. He's collected a 7.71 ERA and 21:15 K:BB over 21 frames with Las Vegas and will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

EDGE Analysis

Regarded as one of the top arms in the lower levels of the Dodgers' farm system, the 21-year-old Duran finished the 2022 campaign at High-A Great Lakes, where he submitted a 4.25 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 68:24 K:BB in 48.2 innings. Though his recently elbow surgery is a setback to his development, Duran is young enough to bounce back from the procedure and enjoy a productive career.
