Bryan Abreu Stats

Major League Baseball said on Monday that Houston Astros relief pitcher Bryan Abreu's two-game suspension for throwing at Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Friday is upheld, but the suspension will be served in the first two games of the 2024 season. Abreu, who pitched an inning in the Game 6 loss on Sunday, will be available out of Houston's bullpen in Game 7 on Tuesday and would be available to pitch in the World Series if the Astros are able to take care of business at home in the winner-take-all. The 26-year-old right-hander is a shutdown relief weapon for Houston and has been all year. He's allowed two earned runs (both in the ALCS) in 7 1/3 postseason innings while striking out 13 and walking only two.

Houston Astros relief pitcher Bryan Abreu's appeal of his two-game suspension for throwing at Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series on Friday is being heard on Monday. While he was appealing the suspension, the Astros used Abreu for an inning of relief in the 9-2 loss in Game 5 on Sunday. In that outing, Abreu allowed an earned run on two hits while walking none and striking out two. It's highly unlikely that the 26-year-old right-hander will be available for Game 7 on Monday. Abreu was lights-out all year for the Astros and had five saves, a 1.75 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 100 strikeouts in 72 innings out of the bullpen, so not having him available for a pivotal Game 7 on Monday is a big deal.

Houston Astros relief pitcher Bryan Abreu was given a two-game suspension Saturday for hitting Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia with a pitch during Game 5. Abreu can appeal the decision, and likely will, meaning he should be available for the rest of the ALCS. The 26-year-old was also fined an undisclosed amount for his actions.
