José Abreu News
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.
Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (leg), who is dealing with some minor leg soreness, is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup on Wednesday against Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Ross Stripling. With Abreu at DH, Andrew Vaughn will play first base and hit second in the batting order. Abreu has been great in the month of June, hitting .299 (23-for-77) with four home runs, four doubles, 12 RBI and 14 runs scored in 19 games to raise his season slash line to .261/.359/.433 with nine home runs, 32 RBI and 36 runs scored in 284 plate appearances. Fantasy managers in single-season formats need to keep Abreu in their starting lineups.
Chicago White Sox first baseman/designated hitter Jose Abreu will bat fourth and serve as the designated hitter for the White Sox in their Wednesday afternoon matinee against the Detroit Tigers. Abreu is having a great season in 2022, recording a 93.2 mph average exit velocity on balls put in play (top 4% of all MLB players), a 55.3% hard-hit rate (top 2% of all MLB players) and a .588 xSLG (top 7% of all MLB hitters). Abreu is a must-start every day in standard fantasy leagues.

Not many people had Chicago White Sox first basemanJose Abreu as their pick for the 2020 American League MVP award, but he certainly earned it, hitting .317 with 19 homers and 60 RBI in the 60 games the White Sox played. But where does this put him for 2021? Abreu has always fared better in the warmest months -- a career .413 wOBA in August compared to .354 in March/April -- so that might explain some of his red-hot 60 games during the shortened season. He has also had massive RBI luck the last two seasons, averaging an RBI for every 1.4 of his hits (the league average is 1.98). The career-high batting average in 2020 also appears to have been aided by luck, as he also posted career-worsts in strikeout rate (22.5%) and contact rate (71.1%). First base remains a shallow position in 2021, but chasing an MVP season from a 34-year-old seems like a poor use of a high draft pick. Let someone else pay the premium on Abreu.
