Abreu recorded the final two outs of Saturday's 7-5 win over the White Sox to earn his first Major League save.
EDGE Analysis
Abreu inherited a bases-loaded jam with one out in the 10th inning, but Seby Zavala lined out and Tim Anderson grounded into a force out to secure the milestone save for the 25-year-old Abreu. It should be noted that Chad Green blew a save chance in the ninth and Zack Britton got the first crack in the 10th, so this was likely a one-off for Abreu with closer Aroldis Chapman (elbow) possibly returning from the IL next week. Abreu has appeared in 14 games this season, posting a 4.43 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with a 23:11 K:BB in 22.1 innings.

Abreu (1-0) earned the win in relief Friday against the Mariners after pitching a scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
Abreu didn't strike anyone out in this one and needed 19 pitches (11 strikes) to get the job done, but perhaps the most important thing is that he responded in a high-leverage situation. He owns a 4.91 ERA on the season but seems to be trending in the right path with two straight scoreless outings. He has 2.25 ERA across three appearances this month.

The Yankees recalled Abreu from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Even though he was optioned to Triple-A two days earlier, Abreu is eligible to rejoin the Yankees after the team placed Domingo German (shoulder) on the injured list in a corresponding move. Nestor Cortes is the most likely candidate to take over German's spot in the rotation, but Abreu will give the Yankees a fresh arm out of the bullpen in the meantime.

Abreu was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Abreu was tagged for six runs without recording an out Thursday against the Rays and will return to the minors. It was by far the worst performance in the majors this year for the 25-year-old, who had previously given up only three earned runs in 14.1 innings.

Abreu allowed six runs on four hits and two walks without recording an out against Tampa Bay on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander came into the contest with a 1.88 ERA across 14.1 innings and left with his ERA having ballooned to 5.65. Abreu tossed only 18 of 33 pitches for strikes and was pounded when he did throw the ball into the zone, as three of Tampa Bay's four hits against him left the park. It was the first time this season that Abreu has allowed more than one run in an appearance.

Abreu was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Abreu was sent down Tuesday, but he'll return to the major-league bullpen a day later. The right-hander has recorded a 1.88 ERA and 0.77 WHIP in 14.1 innings across seven appearances this year, and he should be available mainly as a low-leverage reliever.

The Yankees optioned Abreu to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The righty appeared in one game after being called up July 10, striking out one and walking two in 1.2 scoreless, hitless innings. Overall this season, Abreu has posted a 1.88 ERA and 0.77 WHIP in 14.1 big-league innings. Now, he returns to Triple-A to clear a roster spot for newly acquired reliever Clay Holmes.

The Yankees recalled Abreu from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Abreu has a 2.13 ERA in 12.2 innings with the Yankees this season. He most recently pitched Wednesday at Triple-A, completing a scoreless inning with two strikeouts. Jonathan Loaisiga (COVID-19) will be out for the last two games against Houston, so Abreu and Brooks Kriske will provide some additional bullpen depth before the break.

Abreu was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Tuesday's win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was promoted from Triple-A over the weekend and will return there after delivering two scoreless frames Tuesday. Abreu has a 2.13 ERA across 12.2 big-league innings this season and figures to rejoin the Yankees later on this summer.

Abreu was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Abreu made four relief appearances for the Yankees earlier in the year and posted a 2.08 ERA and 0.69 WHIP in 8.2 innings. He should serve mainly as a low-leverage reliever going forward after Zack Britton (hamstring) and Wandy Peralta (back) were placed on the injured list as part of a corresponding move.
