Abreu went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 6-4 victory versus Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

That's now two straight games with a homer for Abreu, who went deep just once over his first 61 contests this season. The veteran has also tallied three consecutive multi-hit performances, so there's reason to believe that he may be turning around what has been a mediocre season thus far. Abreu is still slashing just .223/.279/.293 overall, so he has a long way to go to avoid finishing with the worst campaign of his career.

Abreu went 2-for-7 with a three-run home run in Friday's 10-9 extra-innings loss to the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran first baseman took Logan Allen deep in the first inning to give the Astros an early lead that the bullpen squandered. It's only Abreu's second homer of the year, but they've both come in the last 12 games. It's a sliver of hope in what has been a disastrous first campaign with Houston, but his .244/.308/.400 slash line over that 12-game stretch only looks good in comparison to his .219/.277/.278 line on the season.

Abreu is not in the starting lineup versus the Angels on Sunday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu gets a rare day off for the final game of a four-game set against the Angels. The veteran first baseman will get a day off while Yainer Diaz gets the start at first and hits seventh against the Halos.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu's long power drought is over -- he failed to go deep in his first 50 games before his eighth-inning blast Sunday. The first baseman has had no fewer than 15 homers in any season of his career, though that low mark came in 2022, so it's concerning that trend has continued this year. He's hitting just .185 (15-for-81) in May and .214 on the season with 19 RBI, 14 runs scored and seven doubles across 213 plate appearances. He'll have a lot of catching up to do if he's going to get back to his established power production in 2023, and at 36 years old, it's not guaranteed he'll do it.

Abreu went 0-for-2 in Sunday's win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu took advantage of a wild Athletics pitching staff that gave up eight walks in total, taking two free passes himself in four at-bats. After hitting 25 or more home runs in six of his first eight MLB seasons, Abreu has struggled to replicate those power numbers in 2022 and 2023, notching just 15 long balls in 157 games last season and remaining homerless through 44 games in 2023. Though the 36-year-olds best days appear to be behind him, his role as an everyday player in the heart of an extremely talented lineup keeps him relevant in fantasy conversations, especially with Jose Altuve back in action for Houston.

Abreu went 1-for-5 in Friday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu returned to Guaranteed Rate Field to face his former team Friday. He tallied a two-out single in the seventh inning but otherwise had an unremarkable performance. Abreu has one hit in three of his last four games -- including two doubles -- but he still has a disastrous .234 wOBA and 45 wRC+ across 156 plate appearances on the season.

Abreu is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Angels, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu has struggled mightily in the month of May thus far with his 0-for-4 effort against the Angels on Tuesday seeing his slash for the month fall to .148/.258/.222 over 27 at-bats. Yainer Diaz will get the start at first base and hit seventh.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Monday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu had been moved out of the cleanup spot for a span of five games, but he has now hit fourth in each of the Astros' last two matchups. He took advantage of that opportunity Monday, as he delivered an RBI single in the first inning to give Houston the lead. Even given the positive performance, Abreu has failed to record a multi-hit game in any of his last 10 starts and has hit just .175 with four RBI, two runs scored and one extra-base hit in that span.

Abreu has been moved down to sixth in the lineup, at least against righties, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu began the season hitting cleanup and was moved down to fifth in the lineup for the last four games against righties, and now he slips to his lowest spot since joining the Astros. The veteran first baseman is hitting .243 with a .277 OBP and zero home runs this season. He has hit one home run in his last 81 games.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Abreu tallied an RBI double and came around to score in the fifth inning of Tuesday's win. He now has at least one hit in seven of his last eight starts, which has resulted in a .273 average. Even with that positive production, he has only two extra-base hits in that span and four total on the campaign across 105 plate appearances. Overall, Abreu has maintained a 60 wRC+ and .256 wOBA.
