Wilyer Abreu Swinging A Bat, Still Questionable For Opening Day
2 months agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu (illness) has begun swinging a bat but remains questionable for Opening Day. Abreu is up to "40 swings" and has begun playing catch but manager Alex Cora is not guaranteeing he will be ready in time for the season opener. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during spring training. Abreu has been battling an illness during the start of camp and is even dealing with some weight loss as well. Last season, the 25-year-old received his first extended look at the major leagues and held a solid .253/.322/.459 line with 15 home runs. He swiped eight bags and generated an elite 50.4 percent hard-hit rate. However, he struck out at a high 28.0 percent rate. If he were to miss time early in the season, top prospect Roman Anthony could earn a starting role in right field.
