Yanks get catcher Trevino from Texas for Ps Abreu, Ahlstrom
The New York Yankees have boosted their depth behind the plate, acquiring catcher Jose Trevino from the Texas Rangers for right-hander Albert Abreu and lefty Robert Ahlstrom in a t...APRIL 2, 2022 • Associated Press
Traded to Texas Abreu and Robert Ahlstrom were sent from the Yankees to the Rangers on Saturday in exchange for Jose Trevino.
Impact Abreu had been expected to break camp in the big leagues, and that's presumably still true for his new team, as he's out of options. The 26-year-old righty tossed 26.2 innings of relief last season, struggling to a 5.15 ERA while walking 12.2 percent of opposing batters, so he's likely to find himself in a low-leverage role.

Will make Opening Day roster Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed Friday that Abreu will be on the team's Opening Day roster, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.
Impact Abreu has looked great this spring, pitching 4.2 scoreless innings during which he has allowed only one hit and posted a 6:0 K:BB. Beyond the Grapefruit League success, the right-hander's security on the 28-man roster is buoyed by the fact that he's out of minor-league options. Abreu got his first extended look in the majors last season, posting a 5.15 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 35:19 K:BB across 36.2 relief innings.

Impact The 26-year-old last pitched in the majors Sept. 18, surrendering five runs in 0.2 innings against Cleveland. Prior to that outing, he had four consecutive scoreless appearances in low-leverage situations for the Yankees. He'll take the roster spot of Luke Voit (knee), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Sent to Triple-A Abreu was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.
Impact Abreu will make way for Jameson Taillon, who returned from an ankle injury ahead of his scheduled start against the Blue Jays. Abreu hasn't been particularly good in 36 innings of relief at the major-league level this season, struggling to a 5.25 ERA.

Rejoins Yankees The Yankees recalled Abreu from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Impact The righty was sent down to Triple-A on Aug. 29 after posting a 2.51 ERA and 17:5 K:BB in 14.1 innings during his month-long stint with the big-league club. He returns to the Bronx to help fill the bullpen void left by Jonathan Loaisiga (shoulder) going on the injured list.
SEPTEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Sent down Sunday Abreu was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
Impact Abreu had given up two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four in 3.1 innings across his last three relief appearances, and he'll now lose his spot on the major-league roster since Corey Kluber (shoulder) is slated to return from the 60-day injured list Monday. The right-hander has a 3.78 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 16.2 innings across 10 Triple-A outings in 2021, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to the Yankees during the final month of the season if they need an extra reliever.

Collects first career save Abreu recorded the final two outs of Saturday's 7-5 win over the White Sox to earn his first save in the majors.
Impact Abreu inherited a bases-loaded jam with one out in the 10th inning, but Seby Zavala lined out and Tim Anderson grounded into a forceout to secure the milestone save for the 25-year-old Abreu. It should be noted that Chad Green blew a save chance in the ninth and Zack Britton got the first crack in the 10th, so this was likely a one-off for Abreu with closer Aroldis Chapman (elbow) possibly returning from the IL next week. Abreu has appeared in 14 games this season, posting a 4.43 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with a 23:11 K:BB in 22.1 innings.

Earns win in relief Abreu (1-0) earned the win in relief Friday against the Mariners after pitching a scoreless inning.
Impact Abreu didn't strike anyone out in this one and needed 19 pitches (11 strikes) to get the job done, but perhaps the most important thing is that he responded in a high-leverage situation. He owns a 4.91 ERA on the season but seems to be trending in the right path with two straight scoreless outings. He has 2.25 ERA across three appearances this month.
