Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's victory versus the Oakland Athletics. Abreu had a slow first half for his standards, but has really been hitting the ball well in the second half of the season and has now homered in four of his last seven games. The reigning American League MVP has gotten much more protection with outfielders Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert back in the lineup and it has helped the slugger. Abreu is now hitting .255 with 25 home runs and 89 RBI.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller

Free-agent first baseman Jose Abreu will most likely not play for the remainder of the 2024 season, according to sources. It's believed that Abreu will take a break, and if conditions are right, he'll try to return in 2025 if he's given another opportunity with a big-league organization. The former American League MVP fell off a cliff this year and was released by the Houston Astros after hitting a miserable .124/.167/.195 with two home runs, seven RBI and 10 runs scored in 35 games played. The 37-year-old probably doesn't have much left, but he'll see if another team will give him an opportunity as a right-handed veteran bat next year. If this is the end for the Cuban slugger, he'll finish his MLB career with a .283/.345/.488 slash line with an .833 OPS, 263 home runs and 960 RBI in 1,446 games over 11 seasons in the league.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The Houston Astros released struggling first baseman Jose Abreu from their major-league roster on Friday, according to general manager Dana Brown. The team will announce a corresponding move later on Friday. Abreu was already optioned to the minors recently to work on his swing, but he went 7-for-42 (.167) with two homers, four RBI and 10 strikeouts in 13 games since returning to the big leagues on May 27. The 37-year-old veteran hit a miserable .124 (14-for-113) with two homers, seven RBI, only four walks and 28 strikeouts in 120 plate appearances over 35 games in his second year in Houston and will now hit the open market. The former American League MVP should latch on with another team, but there's no guarantee he'll be any better. The biggest winner in Houston at first base moving forward should be Jon Singleton.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Houston Astros first baseman Jose Abreu was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday. He is back in the starting lineup at first base and batting eighth against the Seattle Mariners. Joey Loperfido was optioned back to Triple-A as a corresponding move. Abreu was demoted to the minor leagues after a horrific start to the season that saw him slashing .099/.156/.113 through 22 games. The veteran slugger was also pretty dismal throughout the 2023 campaign, so a return to fantasy relevance seems unlikely at this point. Abreu will also have to battle Jon Singleton, who is starting at DH tonight, for regular playing time. As for Loperfido, the team's sixth-ranked prospect performed well in limited at-bats. He remains a player of interest in dynasty formats, but him and Abreu are both non-factors in redraft leagues at this point.--Raymond Harrison - RotoBaller

Houston Astros first baseman Jose Abreu will return to the team on Monday to kick off their series against the Seattle Mariners. Abreu had most recently been with Triple-A Sugar Land after the Astros optioned him to the minors due to his early-season struggles. The veteran slugger had produced a dismal .099/.156/.113 slash line with no home runs, three RBI and a 3:18 BB:K through 22 games in 2024. While he had some production in the Florida Complex League immediately after his demotion, he actually went hitless across his seven at-bats in Triple-A. Even with Abreu returning, there is no guarantee he gets regular playing time over Jon Singleton. The former MVP is best left on the waiver wire at this point.--Raymond Harrison - RotoBaller
