Wilyer Abreu Latest News
Sitting out series finale

Abreu is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports. Abreu will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Yankees send another lefty (Carlos Rodon) to the hill. Platoon mate Rob Refsnyder will replace Abreu as the Red Sox's starting right field.
Idle against lefty

Abreu is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels. Abreu had started each of the last seven games while the Red Sox faced right-handed starters, but he'll hit the bench for the series opener versus the Angels with southpaw Tyler Anderson on the bump. Platoon mate Rob Refsnyder will fill in for Abreu in right field and will bat third.
Homers in loss

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to Milwaukee. Abreu's seventh-inning home run tied the game and set up the need for an extra frame. The blast was the 13th of the season for Abreu, who has struggled for much of the month of May. He's batting .188 (13-for-69) with just four RBI (all on solo home runs) over the last 19 games.
Batting third Sunday

Abreu will start in right field and bat third in Sunday's series finale against the Orioles. This will be Abreu's second consecutive appearance batting third after being elevated there for the opening game of Saturday's doubleheader in place of Alex Bregman (quadriceps). Abreu was held out of Saturday's nightcap while Rob Refsnyder batted third against a lefty, an arrangement that will likely continue while Bregman is sidelined. Hitting behind the sizzling Rafael Devers (1.347 OPS over the last 16 games) can only enhance the fantasy value of each outfielder.
Not in Game 2 lineup

Abreu is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles. Abreu went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Boston's 6-5 extra-innings win in Game 1. He will be on the bench for the start of Saturday's nightcap while Rob Refsnyder starts in right field and bats third.
Not starting Game 2

Abreu isn't in the lineup for the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Orioles. The lefty-hitting Abreu didn't start in the early game against left-handed starter Cade Povich, and it seems the Red Sox are going to keep the 25-year-old outfielder on the bench to conclude Friday's twin bill. Rob Refsnyder will pick up another start in right field as a result and bat third.
Sitting versus lefty again

Abreu is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta. Abreu has played against some left-handers this season, but with Rob Refsnyder now healthy, he'll have a seat versus Chris Sale. Abreu has just a .558 OPS in a limited sample (25 plate appearances) against lefties this season.
Taking seat in series finale

Abreu is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers. Abreu had started every game dating back to April 29, but he'll head to the bench while the Tigers send reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal to the hill. Rob Refsnyder will draw the start in right field in place of the lefty-hitting Abreu, who is batting .190 against same-handed pitching this season.
Smacks 10th homer in win

Abreu went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Royals. Abreu got the Red Sox on the board with a 430-foot blast off Seth Lugo in the fourth inning. The 25-year-old entered Sunday in an 0-for-13 skid but has now slugged four homers through 10 games in May. On the season, he's slashing .279/.380/.551 with 10 home runs, 26 RBI, 23 runs scored and four steals across 158 plate appearances.
