Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran said he went public about his 2022 suicide attempt to "reach those who feel alone."

Duran said in an episode of the Netflix series "The Clubhouse: A Year With the Red Sox" that he tried to kill himself after struggling early in his baseball career. In a statement released through the team after the episode aired on Tuesday, Duran said: "Talking about this wasn't easy, but it felt important."

"I knew that if I was going to share this, I had to be real about it," he said. "A few years ago, I found myself in a dark place, but I'm still here, and I'm so lucky I am. And if my story can help even one person, then it was worth telling."
