Wilyer Abreu Sitting For Game 1
34 mins agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu (undisclosed) will remain out of the starting lineup for Game 1 of their double-header against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday afternoon. Abreu was a late scratch on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to Game 2 later this evening. In the opening game, Rob Refsnyder will cover right field and bat sixth. Abreu has enjoyed an impressive start to the campaign, holding a .500/.621/1.000 slash line with two doubles and three home runs through eight contests. He has held a 7:2 BB:K and swiped one bag. He has tallied at least one hit in all but two contests. When healthy, fantasy managers should view Abreu as a must-start option given his hot start. If he cannot return later on Sunday, he will look to enter the starting nine on Monday evening, when they face the Blue Jays. UPDATE: Abreu is reportedly fine and is likely to play Game 2 of a doubleheader on Sunday evening.
