Wilyer Abreu Stats

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.
