Overview
- Boston outfielder Jarren Duran deleted his Instagram account after reposting a clip of Michael Holley with the caption “They let people like this on NBC Sports” plus clown and laughing emojis.
- Holley accused the Red Sox of lying about injuries and labeled Roman Anthony’s year a major flop while challenging interim manager Chad Tracy’s public timeline.
- Roman Anthony is on the 10-day injured list with a right hand sprain, which followed earlier upbeat talk that has fueled doubts about how the team described the issue.
- Duran is struggling at the plate at about a .194 average with a .577 OPS through roughly 33–35 games, a slump that fed backlash to his post.
- No team discipline related to the post has been reported, and the flare-up further spotlights injury communication and clubhouse dynamics for a 17–23 Red Sox team that recently moved on from Alex Cora.
