The Boston Red Sox have taken disciplinary action against Jarren Duran, suspending him for two games without pay following an incident during a game against the Houston Astros. Duran, who was struggling at the plate, responded to a fan's heckling with a homophobic slur, which was captured on a live mic during the broadcast.
The exchange occurred in the sixth inning when a fan at Fenway Park taunted Duran by shouting, 'Tennis racket! Tennis racket! You need a tennis racket!' In response, Duran turned towards the fan and used offensive language, including a homophobic slur.
