2026 Fantasy Outlook
Between Minnesota and Philadelphia, Duran established a new career-high with 32 saves. The 28-year-old recorded 16 apiece for both the Twins and Phillies to lead both clubs in the category. Over the final two months of 2025, Duran had an 80% team save share for Philadelphia, which represented a shift in manager Rob Thomson's approach to the ninth-inning. While Duran's strikeout rate rate dipped slightly, he led qualified relievers in groundball percentage thanks to his splitter; a pitch he continues to rely more and more on each season. In fact, it was his primary offering (40 percent usage) in 2025, producing a -11 degree launch angle on batted ball events. He also threw an occasional sweeper (5.6 percent usage) to right-handed hitters, generating a 55 percent whiff rate on the pitch. Duran is favored to open 2026 as the Phillies' primary closer and his upside for 40-plus saves currently has him going as the third closer off the board, on average. Read Past Outlooks

The Phillies placed Duran on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left oblique strain, retroactive to Wednesday
Analysis
Duran has been dominant as the Phillies' closer to begin the year, posting a 1.35 ERA and 0.75 WHIP through 6.2 innings while tallying five saves. However, he hasn't pitched in a week due to his oblique injury and will now remain sidelined until at least April 30. Brad Keller and Jose Alvarado are the leading candidates to pick up saves while Duran is out, and Seth Johnson will come up from Triple-A to round out the bullpen.

Duran missed the first month of the 2024 campaign due to a right oblique strain. Upon his return, the hard-throwing righty was called for most of Minnesota's save chances, though he was used earlier in games on occasion while ceding save opportunities to others. The flamethrower recorded 23 saves for a 53.5 percent team save share along with seven holds. Duran still averaged triple-digits on his fastball (100.5 mph, T-2nd among relievers), but his 28.9 percent strikeout rate and 14.8 swinging strike percentage both dipped from prior outputs. He maintained a 60-plus groundball percentage (99th percentile) for the third consecutive year, but his 61.5 LOB percentage attributed to inflated ratios. The upside remains of a top-five closer in the league, but Duran may have competition for closing duties, especially if Griffin Jax remains in the bullpen.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Headed to Philly?
The Phillies are closing in on a trade to acquire Duran from the Twins on Wednesday, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
Analysis
The trade market for Duran has picked up significantly Wednesday, and it appears Philadelphia is on the cusp of landing him. The 27-year-old has a 2.01 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 53:18 K:BB across 49.1 innings this season while operating as Minnesota's closer. Matt Strahm and Orion Kerkering have been splitting closing duties for the Phillies, and Duran would likely take over the job if the trade is finalized, which would boost his fantasy upside.
