Bryan Abreu Stats

Houston Astros pitcher Bryan Abreu allowed a walk while striking out one across a 1/3 of an inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Minnesota Twins. He entered the game in the ninth inning, following Hector Neris with two outs in the ninth frame. The 25-year-old allowed a walk before striking out Jake Cave to notch his second save of the season. Houston's primary closer Ryan Pressly (neck) was unavailable on Tuesday due to neck stiffness; Abreu could be in line for more save opportunities if Pressly misses any more time and is a speculative add-in deep-league formats.

Houston Astros relief pitcher Bryan Abreu picked up his second save of the season in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Twins. Abreu came in to finish the ninth inning up by two with two outs and runners on first and second. Abreu walked the first hitter he faced to load the bases but ended things there with a strikeout. The 25-year-old came in to relieve Hector Neris, who started the inning with a four-run lead. Abreu has pitched well out of the bullpen this season, posting a 2.27 ERA in 43 2/3 innings pitched. However, his fantasy value is very limited, as Ryan Pressly is firming entrenched as the team's closer.

Houston Astros relief pitcher Bryan Abreu (calf) is scheduled to pitch two innings on Tuesday night for Triple-A Sugar Land, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reported. The 24-year-old righty has been sidelined since late May with lingering calf issues but appears to be moving right along with his rehab assignment. Abreu holds a 4.21 ERA through 25 2/3 innings so far this season, although he had brought it down to 3.75 in May. The Astros no doubt want him back healthy to beef up their bullpen, however, he still won't hold much fantasy value when he returns to a setup role. In related news, Astros starting pitcher Enoli Paredes (shoulder) is scheduled to pitch one inning for Sugar Land on Tuesday. Paredes has a 6.23 ERA through 8 2/3 innings pitched this season, so fantasy managers should steer clear of him.
