Stops bleeding late, earns save Abreu earned the save Tuesday against the Rangers, allowing one unearned run on three hits and a walk while striking out two over 1.1 innings.
Impact Abreu was summoned in the eighth after Enyel De Los Santos surrendered three runs to slash Houston's cushion to two. The right-hander, who had allowed eight runs over his previous six appearances entering Tuesday, looked to be in danger of another rough outing as he gave up an RBI-single to Adolis Garcia following a walk to the first batter he faced. However, the 28-year-old managed to settle down, escape further damage and finish off the ninth to secure his seventh save of the season. The performance not only helped seal a much-needed win for Houston but also provided a confidence boost for Abreu in a critical stretch of the playoff push. He now owns a 2.37 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 103:31 K:BB across 68.1 innings on the year.

Shaky in sixth save Abreu allowed two hits and a walk in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.
Impact Abreu erased his first mistake with a double play, then put two more runners on base before ending the game with another groundball out. He's allowed multiple baserunners in four of his last six appearances, allowing a total of eight runs over 5.2 innings in that span. Despite the recent struggles, he continues to serve as the fill-in closer while Josh Hader (shoulder) is out. Abreu has a 2.42 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 101:29 K:BB with six saves and 25 holds over 67 innings this season.

Impact Called in to protect a 3-1 lead, Abreu loaded the bases on two walks and a single before serving up a two-run single to Isiah Kiner-Falefa with one out. It was the right-hander's first blown save in five chances since taking over the closer mantle from Josh Hader (shoulder) in early August, but it may only have been a matter of time before Abreu faltered -- he's been tagged for multiple runs in three of his last four appearances, bumping up his ERA on the season from 1.47 to 2.49.

Notches second save Abreu struck out four in 1.1 scoreless innings Friday to record his second save of the season in a 10-7 win over the Orioles.
Impact Plunking Coby Mayo with a pitch was the only blemish on a dominant relief performance by Abreu. The right-hander hasn't given up a run in August, posting a 0.70 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB over 10 innings, and with Josh Hader (shoulder) likely out for the rest of the regular season, Abreu is locked into the closer role for the Astros.

Records first save Wednesday Abreu picked up the save Wednesday against Toronto, striking out two while allowing two hits and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning.
Impact With All-Star closer Josh Hader (shoulder) on the injured list, Abreu was called upon to protect a three-run lead and secured his first save of the season. The hard-throwing right-hander has been Houston's top setup man in 2025 -- he has 25 holds this year -- so he stands out as the team's favorite for saves while Hader is on the shelf. Abreu has a shiny 1.64 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 81:25 K:BB across 55.0 innings, and fantasy managers should target the righty for saves on waiver wires where he may still be lingering around.
