The Red Sox look to complete a sweep of the Texas Rangers on Wednesday when they close out a six-game homestand at Fenway Park on the final day of the NESN/WEEI Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon.
Jarren Duran will be there to help their cause.
Duran, who missed Boston's last two games as punishment for using a homophobic slur in Sunday's contest against the Houston Astros, was removed from the suspended list Wednesday. He will return to the leadoff spot.
Rob Refsnyder, a hero in each of Boston's two wins in the series, will return to the bench.

Wilyer Abreu will jump to the second spot in the order, batting in front of Masataka Yoshida and Rafael Devers in a lineup heavy on lefties. Danny Jansen will replace Connor Wong behind the dish and bat sixth. Dominic Smith, Nick Sogard and Ceddanne Rafaela all move up one spot in the order, with David Hamilton moving from leadoff to ninth.
The Red Sox and Rangers are scheduled to take the field at Fenway Park at 6:10 p.m. ET, and the finale can be watched on NESN following an hour of pregame coverage. We've got the starting lineups here.
