Wilyer Abreu Fantasy Stats

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu (calf) was activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Abreu is back in the mix after missing around a month of action due to a calf issue. He figures to start in right field against a majority of right-handed starting pitching. That being said, Abreu will cover right field and bat eighth during Sunday's contest. Abreu has enough upside with the bat to warrant rostering in deep leagues at the minimum. In a corresponding move, catcher Ali Sanchez has been designated for assignment.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu (calf) is expected to return from the injured list on Sunday, according to manager Alex Cora. It appears Abreu is finally ready to return after missing nearly a month of action due to a calf injury. When healthy, Abreu has been a viable option in the Red Sox lineup. He figures to return as the primary right fielder once he's activated. There's some deep league value here for fantasy managers still in the playoffs.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu (calf) is finally nearing a return from the 10-day injured list. Abreu will work out in Boston on Friday, and if that goes well, he could join the team in Tampa Bay on Saturday or Sunday, manager Alex Cora told reporters. Abreu has been on the shelf since Aug. 18 with a strained right calf. The hope was that Abreu would miss a minimal amount of time, but his recovery hasn't gone as quickly as expected. He'll end up sitting out a little over a month if the Red Sox activate him this weekend. The 26-year-old has slashed a strong .253/.325/.486 with 22 homers, 69 RBI, 52 runs scored, and six stolen bases over 108 games and 395 plate appearances this season.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu (calf) reported some soreness in his right calf after a recent heavy workload, according to manager Alex Cora. Abreu was feeling better on Tuesday, though, and is day-to-day to be activated from the 10-day injured list at some point this week, according to Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. Although it's a bit of a setback for the 26-year-old, he's still expected to return during this week's series against the Athletics in Boston. Abreu has been out since mid-August with a right-calf strain, but he's nearing his return and should play regularly against right-handed pitching to close out the 2025 regular season in right field. The Venezuelan outfielder has already hit a career-high 22 home runs while driving in 69 and stealing six bases in 108 games in 2025 in his third MLB season. Nate Eaton has been getting most of the starts of late in right field in Beantown against right-handed pitchers.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu (calf) has a "good chance" to come off the 10-day injured list next week, manager Alex Cora told reporters. Abreu has taken longer than expected to recover from a right-calf injury that has shelved him since Aug. 18. He'll end up missing around a month if the Red Sox activate him when they begin a home series against the Athletics on Sept. 16. The 26-year-old has been one of playoff-contending Boston's most productive players this season, having slashed .253/.325/.486 with 22 homers, 69 RBI, 52 runs scored, and six stolen bases over 108 games and 395 plate appearances.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu (calf) ran for the first time in more than a week on Friday and did so again Saturday, manager Alex Cora told reporters. "He feels OK," Cora said. "It wasn't full speed, but better than last time he tried." Cora didn't indicate when Abreu could return from the 10-day injured list. The 26-year-old has been on the shelf with a right-calf injury since Aug. 18, and the hope then was that he would only require a minimum stay on the IL. Unfortunately for the Red Sox and fantasy managers, Abreu's absence is nearing the three-week mark with no clear end in sight. Abreu has set career highs in homers (22) and RBI (69) while slashing .253/.325/.486 with 52 runs scored and six stolen bases in 395 plate appearances.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu (calf) said on Tuesday that he has not yet started running, but that he is feeling better, per Elemergente.com's Marcos Grunfeld. The 26-year-old was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to August 18 with a right calf strain. He said he expects to begin running this week and is waiting for a progress update from his trainers. Abreu was continuing to provide the power he showed in 2024 this season, slashing .253/.325/.486 with 22 home runs, 69 RBI, and six stolen bases in 395 plate appearances. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for more news, but Abreu is running out of time to provide any additional fantasy value.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu (calf) isn't recovering as quickly as expected when he went on the 10-day injured list with a strained right calf on Aug. 21. Manager Alex Cora said Sunday that Abreu has "been able to hit and move around defensively. But he hasn't been able to run. So are we concerned? Yes and no. He'll be back at one point. But I think it's been longer than expected." Abreu is scheduled to run on Monday, so the Red Sox will have a better idea of his status then. The 26-year-old is unlikely to return during their current homestand, which runs through Wednesday. The team will start a six-game road trip on Friday. It's less than ideal for the playoff-contending Red Sox to continue going without Abreu, who has been one of their most productive players this year. He has taken 395 trips to the plate and slashed .253/.325/.486 with 22 homers, 69 RBI, 52 runs scored, and six stolen bases.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that outfielder Wilyer Abreu (calf) is receiving treatment this weekend and will attempt to run again on Monday. It sounds as though Abreu probably won't come off the 10-day injured list before the end of the team's current homestand on Wednesday, Sept. 3, per Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald. The 26-year-old has been slow to recover from an injured right calf, and it's unclear if he'll need a short minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining the big-league roster. When Abreu does return, though, he should be a regular in right field against right-handed pitchers, which will likely push Ceddanne Rafaela back to second base. The Venezuelan outfielder has already hit a career-high 22 home runs while driving in 69 and stealing six bases in 108 games in his third big-league season in Beantown.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu (calf) ran at 40 to 50 percent intensity on Tuesday as he recovers from a right-calf injury. Abreu, who has been on the 10-day injured list since Aug. 18, is on track to return around Sept. 1. The 26-year-old's injury paved the way for the promotion of well-regarded outfield prospect Jhostynxon Garcia, but "The Password" has only appeared in two games and gone 0-for-4 in six plate appearances. Abreu, on the other hand, has slashed a strong .253/.325/.486 with 22 homers, 69 RBI, 52 runs scored, and six stolen bases in 395 plate appearances this year. The Red Sox will be glad to get him back for the last month of the season as they try to secure a playoff berth.
