Abreu went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

After going 50 games without a homer to begin the season, Abreu now has nine in his last 50. His long ball in the fourth inning Friday tied the game against Rays ace Shane McClanahan. It's been a strange season for the veteran, but he's at least showing flashes of his old self. Abreu signed a three-year, $58.5 million contract with the Astros last November.

Abreu went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 13-12 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu has a pair of multi-hit efforts to open the second half. He also snapped a seven-game homer drought Saturday. All eight of his homers have come since May 28, as it appears the veteran first baseman is starting to get his power on track again. He's added a .245/.294/.359 slash line with 49 RBI, 32 runs scored and 15 doubles through 89 contests.

Abreu went 3-for-4 with a walk an RBI and a run scored Friday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu entered the All-Star break having gone just 3-for-21 in his final six games with no extra-base hits. However, he started the second half strong, highlighted by an RBI single in the sixth inning. After a slow start to the season, Abreu has maintained a more typical .805 OPS with 26 RBI and 15 runs scored across his last 34 games.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu blasted a three-run, 452-foot homer off Glenn Otto in the fourth inning before tying the game with an RBI double in the ninth. The homer was Abreu's seventh of the year, six of which have come in his previous 20 games. The veteran first-baseman has gone 15-for-41 (.366) with seven extra-base hits over his last 10 contests, boosting his slash line to .243/.292/.358 with 45 RBI and 28 runs scored through 342 plate appearances this season.

Abreu went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu's hitting came around as he batted .292 in June, and after an 0-for-3 effort Saturday, he bounced back with Sunday's three-hit game. It's just his second three-hit effort of the year, the other being June 14 versus the Nationals. The first baseman is up to a .240/.291/.344 slash line with six home runs, 41 RBI, 26 runs scored and 14 doubles through 80 contests. Making more consistent contact is helping improve his line, but he's still lacking in the power department, though he has an extra-base hit in five of his last eight contests.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's victory over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

It had been a slow start for Abreu in Houston, especially in the power department, but he appears to have found a groove in June, slashing .292/.305/.517 over his last 22 appearances. The veteran has 10 extra-base hits, including five home runs, and 19 RBI during that stretch, but he's drawn just two walks. Despite his early offensive struggles, Abreu remains locked in as an everyday player and has appeared in 76 of the Astros' first 80 games.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu will get another day off after going 3-for-19 at the plate with seven strikeouts across his last five games. Mauricio Dubon will fill in at first base and bat second.

Abreu is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Mauricio Dubon will pick up a start at first base while Abreu takes a seat for the first time since June 4, breaking a streak of 15 consecutive starts. The 2020 American League MVP remains in the midst of a career-worst season, but he's at least shown some signs of life in June, turning in a .734 OPS through 18 games this month.

Abreu went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored Friday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu started a ninth-inning rally with a leadoff double and ultimately scored the Astros' only run. Across his first 61 games of the season, he managed only nine-extra base hits. In seven games since, he's racked up three homers and three doubles while also scoring five runs and driving in 10. Abreu has settled into the fifth spot in the lineup with Yordan Alvarez (oblique) sidelined.
