Fri Jul 1 202210:06Jose Abreu Slashes .346/.431/.533 Across June
Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu had his best month of the season thus far in June. He slashed 346/.431/.533 across the month and closed out his strong month with a 4-for-4 effort against the Los Angeles Angels this past Wednesday. Abreu had a .656 OPS in April, followed by a .796 OPS in May. His .964 OPS in June was fueled by a 41.3% ground ball rate (down from 51.2% in May) and a 1.0 K/BB ratio (up from 0.88 in May). The 35-year-old isn't supplying a ton of power yet this year as he has just nine homers over 72 games, but the rest of his profile is right where fantasy managers would like to see him at.

Sat May 21 202212:12Jose Abreu To Play Through Illness On Saturday
Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (illness) is dealing with an upper respiratory issue, according to White Sox beat writer Daryl Van Schouwen. To ease his workload in Saturday's game against the New York Yankees, he will be slotting in as the team's designated hitter with Andrew Vaughn covering first base. Abreu is hitting just .207/.299/.326 over 36 games on the year, but he's shown some signs of turning a corner lately. Over his past four games, he's recorded four hits (including two doubles) as well as five walks. Abreu has a history of heating up at the plate as the season goes on, so fantasy managers should remain patient with the 35-year-old veteran.

Tue May 17 202219:10Jose Abreu Drives In Two On Tuesday
Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu went 2-for-3 with a double, walk, and two RBI in the White Sox 3-0 win over the Kansas City Royals in the first game of a doubleheader Tuesday. Abreu's performance in game one was a welcome sight to fantasy managers who have him rostered. Abreu is off to a brutal start in 2022, slashing just .211/.297/.328 with only three home runs and 14 RBI over 128 at-bats and 34 games. Abreu was out of the lineup for the nightcap. Perhaps Tuesday afternoon's performance will get his bat going. Abreu is coming off a 37-homer, 117-RBI season, which followed his 2020 American League MVP campaign. Despite the very mediocre start to the season, fantasy managers should remain patient with Abreu given his track record and current underlying metrics which do suggest positive regression forthcoming.

Wed Apr 27 202221:42Struggles Continue For Jose Abreu On Wednesday
Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the White Sox's 7-3 win over the Royals on Wednesday. Abreu has been really struggling at the plate to start off the 2022 campaign. He is slashing a lowly .203/.288/.356 with just two home runs and six RBI in his first 16 games of the season (59 at-bats). Abreu is coming off a 37-homer, 117-RBI season, which followed his 2020 American League MVP campaign, so it should only be a matter of time before his bat gets going. Fantasy managers should remain patient with Abreu and underscore the fact that it has only been 16 games played so far in 2022. Continue to keep Abreu active in all formats despite the poor start to the season.

Fri Apr 15 202200:26Jose Abreu Strikes Out Three Times Thursday
Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu was unable to reach base on Thursday, taking an 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during the 5-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Abreu didn't have much go his way the day before either when he went 0-for-4 with two punchouts. The 2020 MVP is off to an uncharacteristically cold start to the season, slashing .227/.320/.318 thus far and is still searching for his first home run. That's not the kind of production fantasy managers have become accustomed to. Last year, he hit .261 with 30 big flies, 86 runs, 117 RBI, and one stolen base over 152 games, and he's a career .290 hitter with a .864 OPS. It's very early in the season, so there's no reason to believe the 35-year-old won't turn things around while in the middle of a loaded lineup.

Wed Feb 23 202216:25Jose Abreu Enjoys Quality 2021 Season

Just a year removed from winning American League MVP honors in 2020, the first baseman hit .261 with a .351 on-base percentage, 30 home runs, and a stolen base in 659 plate appearances for Chicago this past season. Abreu should once again be among the best fantasy options at his position in 2022 and will likely continue to hit in the middle of a White Sox lineup that will also feature Yasmani Grandal, Tim Anderson, Yoan Moncada, and Luis Robert.
