Availability
Bryan Abreu was reinstated from the restricted list ahead of Thursday's game against the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
Abreu was placed on the restricted list on Monday due to an undisclosed personal matter. The righty last pitched for the Astros this past Saturday, but it looks like he will be back in the bullpen in time for Thursday's game. Colton Gordon was optioned back to the minors in a corresponding move.
The Astros placed Bryan Abreu on the restricted list.
Fantasy Impact
Abreu will be away for some time. Logan VanWey was recalled as the corresponding move.
Bryan Abreu struck out three batters while allowing one earned run on one hit to earn the save in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact
Abreu has struggled when called upon out of the Houston bullpen to begin the season, allowing runs in all three of his relief appearances. The right-hander’s leash continues to shorten while beginning the season as the closer for manager Joe Espada, posting a 2.57 WHIP to go along with a 1.50 K/BB ratio with one save so far this season.
Astros right-hander Bryan Abreu will begin the season as the Astros closer.
Fantasy Impact
Abreu was originally slated to serve as Houston's setup man to closer Josh Hader, but the latter is dealing with biceps tendinitis and will begin the season on the injured list. Abreu could have significant early-season fantasy value with Hader's timeline to be determined at this point.
Bryan Abreu and the Houston Astros have avoided arbitration. The righthander will make $5.85 million in 2026 with an additional $50K if he makes the All-Star Game.
Fantasy Impact
Abreu, 28, has turned into one of the premier setup men in the game. He posted a 2.28 ERA in 71 games with Houston last season and registered his third straight 100-strikeout season out of the bullpen. His strikeout rate of 35.5% last season was the sixth-highest among all qualified relievers. Abreu will serve as the setup man to Josh Hader and will occasionally get a save opportunity after finishing with a career-best seven saves a season ago.
