Albert Abreu - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Headed overseas Abreu signed a contract with the Chunichi Dragons of Nippon Professional Baseball on Monday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Abreu returned from Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball for the 2025 season and joined Cincinnati on a minor-league deal, but he was unable to gain much traction, accruing a 5.79 ERA and 1.95 WHIP over 23.1 frames at Triple-A Louisville. He'll retreat overseas with the hope of finding more success.

He'll now be put on the shelf for the next two weeks, though there is still room for him to return before the end of the season. Nick Ramirez was brought up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move.

Nabs second win Abreu (2-1) earned the win Sunday against the Reds, striking out one over 1.1 perfect innings.

Impact Abreu relieved Luis Severino in the fifth inning before pitching a clean sixth to earn his second win of the season. The 27-year-old Abreu has delivered three consecutive -scoreless appearances, allowing just one walk in that span, after surrendering three runs in his previous three outings. Abreu lowered his ERA to 4.24 with a 1.46 WHIP and 25:16 K:BB while recording three holds in 23.1 innings this year.

Notches third hold Abreu picked up a hold Friday against the Reds, allowing one walk and striking out one batter in a scorless inning.

Impact Abreu threw just 10 of 21 pitches for a strike, but he got through his frame yielding just one baserunner. The right-hander went through a rough stretch from May 9 to May 14 during which he gave up a run in each of his three appearances covering 3.2 total innings, but he's since had back-to-back scoreless outings. Abreu has picked up a hold in each of his past two games after collecting just one hold through his first 15 contests this season.

Loses control against Rangers Abreu pitched one inning against Texas on Sunday, allowing six runs on two hits and four walks while striking out one batter.

Impact Abreu had pitched well this season prior to Sunday, allowing just two earned runs -- both against Toronto on April 21 -- over 12.1 innings. His ERA took a huge hit Sunday, however, jumping from 1.46 to 5.40. The damage was largely due to his inability to find the zone, as he threw only 20 of 41 pitches for a strike and issued four free passes. In fact, the final three batters he faced all reached via walk and eventually came around to score. Abreu struggled with his control last season, posting a 12.8 percent walk rate across 38.2 frames, and he's already issued 10 free passes over his first 13.1 innings in 2023.

Wins Opening Day spot Manager Aaron Boone confirmed Sunday that Abreu will be included in the Yankees' Opening Day bullpen, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Abreu turned in uneven results during Grapefruit League play, yielding six runs and striking out just four over 9.1 innings, but he issued just one walk and held opposing batters to a .222 average. Ultimately, that level of performance along with the fact that he doesn't have minor-league options remaining was enough for Abreu to secure his spot on the roster. He'll likely be ticketed for low-leverage work out of the bullpen.
