On departure out of ZZZ between 1;000 and 2;000 feet AGL; we received 'L 10th STAGE DUCT' Warning message followed by 'L JETPIPE OVHT' Warning message. I was Pilot Monitoring. We reduced the thrust on the affected engine and the message went away after a few seconds. Due to our proximity to the airport of departure and the potential severity of this malfunction; we decided to immediately return to ZZZ. We were cleared for and performed a visual approach to Runway XX.
CRJ-200 Captain reported a duct overheat on departure and elected to return to departure airport.
