2025 Fantasy Outlook
Abreu's .825 OPS facing righties compared to a .532 mark versus lefties resulted in Abreu collecting 85 percent of his plate appearances against right-handers. Even with the smattering of action without the platoon edge, Abreu posted a 94th percentile hard hit rate and 86th percentile barrel rate. A 28.2 percent strikeout rate facing righties dampened Abreu's production. He fanned at a slightly lower clip against southpaws, but his quality of contact was weak. Abreu's league-leading 18 defensive runs saved in right field along with nine assists earned him a Gold Glove. His defensive prowess may help earn more playing time, but it's best to plan on reduced playing time. Abreu outpointed his xBA and xSLG, but playing in Fenway Park often skews the expected algorithms. There may be some regression, but Abreu's quality of contact is solid. He just needs to put the ball in play more. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Red Sox in March of 2025.
Could return within one week
Abreu (calf) is on track to return within the next week, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis
Abreu was cleared to participate in running drills over the weekend, and the team has since provided a more concrete timeline for his return from a right calf strain. Skipper Alex Cora noted that activating Abreu over the weekend against the Yankees isn't a possibility, but it's looking like a return during the team's series against the Athletics, which runs from Sept. 16 to Sept. 18, is the most likely scenario.

Stat Review
How does Wilyer Abreu compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The lefty-hitting Abreu was traded to Boston at the 2022 trade deadline in the deal that sent Christian Vazquez to Houston. He doesn't run as much as he used to, attempting just 13 steals in 114 games across Triple-A and the majors, but Abreu has a cannon of an arm and logged an impressive 49.1 HardHit% rate in 53 batted-ball events, per Statcast. He made solid swing decisions in his brief cup of coffee, but Abreu's Contact% was a hair below 70 percent, so he will likely be better in OBP leagues than AVG leagues. Abreu's defensive versatility and patient approach make him more valuable to Boston than to fantasy managers, but he's a very strong outfield streamer when home games and/or games against right-handed pitchers are on the docket. Abreu figured to get a chance on the strong side of an outfield platoon with Rob Refsnyder to start the year, but the acquisition of Tyler O'Neill notably diminishes his 2024 outlook.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Available in trade talks
Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports the Red Sox will "at least listen" to trade offers for Abreu.
Analysis
Boston was already managing a surplus of outfield talent, and Masataka Yoshida's recent return from shoulder surgery added another player to the OF/DH mix. Abreu is a strong defender and has an .822 OPS with 18 homers and five steals through 83 games this season, so the Red Sox should be able to net a significant trade return if the team elects to move him. The 26-year-old is also under team control through the 2029 campaign.
