Abreu (1-3) allowed two earned runs on one hit and one walk without recording an out to take the loss Monday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu entered the game in the ninth inning with the score knotted at 1-1. He walked Brent Rooker and then served up a two-run home run to Nick Kurtz, which marked the first runs that Abreu surrendered since May 23. Overall, he has 29 scoreless efforts in 32 appearances for the season while also racking up 18 holds.

Abreu threw a scoreless eighth inning, allowing one walk and striking out two to earn a hold Saturday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu had a rare ineffective outing Friday, allowing two earned runs while taking his second loss of the season. He immediately bounced back Saturday to tally his 13th hold of the campaign, and he has now delivered a scoreless effort in 22 of his 24 appearances.

Abreu (1-2) was charged with the loss and a blown save in Friday's 5-3 loss to Seattle after allowing two runs on three hits and a walk in 1.1 innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

It was the third blown save of the season for Abreu, who is now 0-for-3 in save situations in 2025. Even so, Friday marked his first time allowing a run since April 9, so the right-hander doesn't appear to be in jeopardy of dropping down Houston's bullpen hierarchy despite this showing. Abreu has been a key setup man behind closer Josh Hader, with the former logging a 1.99 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB over 22.2 innings this year.

The Astros reinstated Abreu from the paternity list Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old Abreu spent 48 hours away from the team but is back to assume his role as the team's top setup man. Through 13 innings of work this season, Abreu has a 2.08 ERA and an 18:8 K:BB.

The Astros placed Abreu on the paternity list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu will be away from the Astros for between one and three games while he welcomes a new addition to his family. He'll temporarily cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to right-hander AJ Blubaugh, who was called up from Triple-A Sugar Land ahead of his first MLB start Wednesday against the Tigers.

The Astros and Abreu avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.45 million contract Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was arbitration-eligible for a second time this winter. Abreu's ERA rose to 3.10 ERA in 2024, but he notched 100 strikeouts in relief for the second year in a row and will again be a primary setup man ahead of closer Josh Hader in the Houston bullpen in 2025.

Abreu allowed a hit in a scoreless inning and earned a save over Baltimore on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu worked around a two-out single to close out the chaotic 14-11 victory. It was his first save of the year and he extended his scoreless streak to 8.2 innings. After allowing six runs in 5.2 innings to begin his season, Abreu has yielded just five runs in his last 32 appearances, lowering his season ERA to 2.58. Josh Hader seemingly received a routine day off after earning back-to-back saves against the White Sox on Wednesday and Thursday.

Abreu didn't allow a baserunner and struck out one across a scoreless eighth inning to earn the hold Tuesday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu turned in his fifth consecutive scoreless appearance and has earned four holds in that span. He has a team-high 15 holds this season and is also ranked inside the top five in the league with that mark. Overall, Abreu has an effective 2.88 ERA, though he has issued 20 free passes across 34.1 innings.

Abreu threw a scoreless eighth inning while allowing one hit and striking out three to record a hold Friday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan Pressly (back) hasn't pitched since May 3, leaving Abreu as Houston's primary setup man. He blew the lead in his first opportunity in the role Sunday, but he performed well in Friday's appearance to tally his sixth hold of the season. Since allowing six earned runs across his first 5.2 innings of the campaign, Abreu has allowed only five earned runs across his last 15.2 frames.

Astros manager Joe Espada announced that Abreu will not be available for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After serving a two-game suspension to start the season, Abreu pitched Saturday and Sunday against the Yankees. He was roughed up in his 2024 debut Saturday, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks in one inning. With Josh Hader also unavailable Monday, the Astros will look to Ryan Pressly, Rafael Montero and Seth Martinez as their main options out of the bullpen.
