2023 Fantasy Outlook
Abreu was added to Boston's 40-man roster in November and should open the 2023 campaign at the Triple-A level. He was acquired from Houston in the Christian Vazquez trade and had an .834 OPS with 19 home runs and 31 stolen bases at the Double-A level in 2022. More impressively he had a walk rate around 20 percent, though he also had a 26.3 percent strikeout rate. That level of plate discipline isn't sustainable, but it's still a strength as he also had a double-digit walk rate in the lower minors. Abreu could make his big-league debut in 2023 if he continues his strong play at Triple-A Worcester. Read Past Outlooks

Abreu was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, retroactive to June 2, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not believed to be a serious injury, but Abreu will still miss at least a week of action. The 23-year-old has looked comfortable in his first taste of the Triple-A level this season and has an .846 OPS with eight home runs and a 28:40 BB:K in 40 games.
