Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI, and a run scored in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. This will bring his hit streak to four games now. Abreu is slashing .280/.390/.440 with a home run, seven RBI, nine runs, and four stolen bases over 18 games in 2024. The Red Sox are off Monday, and he will look to continue his hitting streak in Tuesday's matchup against the Cleveland Guardians. Abreu is a speculative add in most fantasy leagues. He will be a strong streaming candidate while swinging a hot bat.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that outfielder Wilyer Abreu will play every game against right-handed pitchers. It's why outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela got the start at shortstop on Monday against the Cleveland Guardians. Abreu made his major-league debut last year and slashed .316/.388/.474 with an .862 OPS, two home runs, 14 RBI, three stolen bases and 10 runs scored in just 28 games played. In his first 11 contests in 2024, Abreu has gone 6-for-26 (.231) with no homers, two RBI and a steal in 29 plate appearances. The 24-year-old can be an asset for those in deep-mixed fantasy leagues now that he'll be playing regularly. He's a strong defender and will be mostly useful in leagues that count on-base percentage due to his patient approach as a hitter.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu is back on the bench for Monday's series opener versus the Oakland A's and right-hander Joe Boyle. The 24-year-old went 1-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's series finale with the Mariners but will begin a series with the A's on the bench. Abreu made his MLB debut in the 2023 season and impressed with a .316 average with two homers and three stolen bases across 85 trips to the plate. At the same time, he also benefited from a bloated .431 BABIP and struck out in an elevated 27.1% of his plate appearances. Tyler O'Neill will move over to right field where Abreu played on Sunday in Seattle.

Boston Red Sox rookie outfielder Wilyer Abreu, who impressed in limited action late in 2023, appears likely to serve as the team's starting right fielder to begin the season, although fellow rookie outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela could also factor into the outfield picture in Boston. Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has also said this offseason that Abreu could see significant playing time in 2024 after the 24-year-old went 24-for-76 (.316) with two home runs, 14 RBI, three stolen bases and 10 runs scored in his first 28 big-league games to close out last season. Abreu is good on defense and hits the ball hard, but he doesn't run all that much and probably isn't going to hit for a very high average in his first full year in the majors. Still, if he's playing regularly in 2024, he'll at least be worthy of rostering in all AL-only fantasy leagues.

Boston Red Sox rookie outfielder Wilyer Abreu (hand) is missing another game on Tuesday as the team takes on the Texas Rangers and right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. Abreu injured his left hand while crashing into the outfield wall on Sunday and will now miss his second straight game. Fantasy managers should continue to consider the 24-year-old day-to-day. The Red Sox will roll with Masataka Yoshida, Adam Duvall and Alex Verdugo from left to right field on Tuesday. Abreu made his major-league debut with the BoSox on Aug. 22 and has held his own at the plate since then, going 20-for-55 (.364) with a home run, five doubles, 10 RBI, three stolen bases and eight runs scored in 20 games played. It remains to be seen how much playing time he'll get with less than two weeks remaining in the regular season.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu (hand) hurt his hand on defense during the last play of Sunday's 3-2 loss against the Toronto Blue Jays. However, the 24-year-old told reporters after the game that he thinks he'll be available Monday against the Texas Rangers, according to Ian Browne of MLB.com. Abreu has shown an ability to hit in his 19 games this season, as he's slashed .370/.443/.519 with one home run, eight runs, 10 RBI, and three stolen bases. The rookie is currently on the strong side of a platoon but is still a decent deep-league option for fantasy managers targeting runs, power, and speed.

The Boston Red Sox activated rookie outfielder Wilyer Abreu from the paternity list on Thursday and optioned shortstop David Hamilton to Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. For now, both Abreu and prospect Ceddanne Rafaela will remain in Boston with rosters set to expand on Friday. The 24-year-old Abreu has been away from the team since Monday. With Jarren Duran (toe) now out for the rest of the 2023 season, Abreu could continue to see regular playing time in Boston's outfield after starting his MLB career on the right note. Abreu has gone 6-for-17 with a home run, five RBI and three runs scored in his first five games.

Boston Red Sox rookie outfielder Wilyer Abreu, who is currently on the paternity list, is expected to rejoin the team on Friday in Kansas City for the start of a series against the Royals. Abreu was placed on paternity leave to begin the week on Monday, but the 24-year-old prospect will be back this weekend against the Royals. The team's No. 17 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, has looked good in his first five MLB contests, going 6-for-17 with a home run, two doubles, five RBI and three runs scored. Now that we know that Jarren Duran (toe) is going to miss the remainder of the 2023 season, Abreu has some intriguing rest-of-season value in mixed leagues for his power from the left side of the plate.

Boston Red Sox rookie outfielder Wilyer Abreu will get a day off on Friday against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. Masataka Yoshida is playing left field and batting cleanup, with Justin Turner serving as the designated hitter and batting third against Dodgers right-hander Lance Lynn. Abreu has burst on the scene in his first three big-league games this week, going 6-for-12 with a home run, two doubles, five RBI and three runs scored in his first 14 major-league plate appearances. The 24-year-old outfield prospect should continue to see decent playing time for Boston until Jarren Duran returns from a sprained toe on his left foot, making him attractive as a short-term option in deeper fantasy leagues.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu had a big afternoon in a 17-1 win over the Houston Astros on Thursday. Abreu went 4-for-5 with a double, a homer, a walk, two runs, and four RBI in the blowout victory. The homer goes down as the first of Abreu's brief MLB career. The rookie outfielder is off to a nice start with the Sox, picking up six hits in his first 12 at-bats, including two doubles. Abreu hit .272 with 22 homers for Triple-A Worcester this season before getting called up to the big leagues.

The Boston Red Sox will promote outfield prospect Wilyer Abreu to the big leagues on Tuesday for their game against the Houston Astros. Abreu gets his first major-league call-up after going 25-for-59 (.424) with a .528 on-base percentage, .949 slugging percentage, a 1.477 OPS, nine home runs, four doubles, 25 RBI, 18 runs and three steals in 17 games for Triple-A Worcester in August. Abreu came to Boston last summer in the trade that sent catcher Christian Vazquez to the Astros. He's started 35 games in left field, 27 games in right and 15 games in center for Worcester in 2023, but he's likely to be coming off the bench for the most part while Jarren Duran (toe) is on the injured list. The 24-year-old has hit .274 (82-for-299) with 22 homers, 65 RBI and eight steals in 86 games for Worcester this year.

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Wilyer Abreu has come on strong for the club's Triple-A affiliate in Worcester. Acquired from the Astros in last year's Christian Vazquez trade, the outfielder has consistently shown off a strong arm and enough speed to cover the middle of the outfield. Although he is primarily viewed as a center fielder, Abreu has the skills to play both corner spots, too. Offensively, he has shown an advanced approach and discipline (15.4 BB%) while still tapping into his power (20 HR, .521 SLG). This past week, Abreu went 13-for-22 with a whopping six home runs, headlined by a three-homer showing on Aug. 13. He also drove in 16 runs, walked once, and drew four strikeouts. Boston is currently satisfied with its outfield situation, but a promotion for Abreu, who is on the 40-man roster, can't be too far away.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu (hamstring) is expected to miss some time after suffering an injury during Sunday's Spring Training contest. The 23-year-old left early due to a left hamstring strain, but the severity of the injury is unknown right now. Manager Alex Cora mentioned he believes Abreu is going to be sidelined for a while. Abreu was a long shot to make the roster anyway, but this issue will likely delay his minor league season. Possibly, Abreu makes some noise in Boston later in the season, but is mainly only worth rostering in dynasty formats.
