Credited with eighth save Abreu picked up the save in Monday's 6-3 win over the White Sox. He allowed no hits and a walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

Impact With Josh Hader potentially unavailable after being used in three of the past four games, Abreu got the ball in the ninth inning and secured his eighth save without issue. As the Astros' top right-handed relief option, Abreu owns a 3.93 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 68:39 K:BB and 12 holds over 52.2 frames in 2026.

Picks up win vs. Yankees Abreu (5-3) earned the win Tuesday over the Yankees, allowing a run on three hits across one inning.

Impact The Astros turned to Abreu with two outs in the seventh inning, where he got George Lombard to fly out, stranding two runners aboard. After Houston took an 8-6 lead in the top of the eight, Abreu came back out and promptly gave up a run on back-to-back hits to open the frame. However, he'd coax a double-play ball off the bat of Austin Wells before Josh Hader came on to record the final out. While it's been an up-and-down year overall for Abreu, the right-hander had looked excellent coming into Tuesday's contest, allowing just two runs while posting a 0.96 WHIP with 23 strikeouts across 17.2 innings in his previous 17 appearances. Overall, Abreu's ERA sits at 4.17 through 49.2 inning this season with a 1.45 WHIP and 63:36 K:BB.

Earns fourth win Friday Abreu (4-3) walked one and struck out two over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win in Friday's 6-3 victory over the Padres.

Impact Abreu entered with two outs in the seventh and Houston holding a 5-3 advantage, and he recorded four outs without allowing a hit. The right-hander worked around a walk and struck out two before handing things over to Josh Hader for the ninth. Despite a 4.29 ERA, Abreu remains one of Houston's primary high-leverage options ahead of Hader, and he's been on a roll of late. This was his 11th straight scoreless outing, a stretch in which he's posted a 0.64 WHIP and a 15:4 K:BB across 11 innings.

Collects four-out save Abreu struck out one over 1.1 perfect innings to earn the save in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Angels.

Impact Josh Hader had pitched four of the last five days, so Abreu was called upon to close out this game. This was Abreu's second save since the All-Star break, but he is unlikely to carve out a larger sharing of closing opportunities as long as Hader is healthy. For the year, Abreu has a 4.74 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 48:28 K:BB through 38 innings, and he's added seven saves and six holds.

Snags sixth save Abreu struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Marlins.

Impact Josh Hader had pitched in the first two games of the series versus Miami and was presumably rested Wednesday. Abreu got the job done well, throwing nine of 14 pitches for strikes to claim his sixth save this season. The veteran reliever has allowed two runs over seven innings with a 9:2 K:BB in July. Abreu hasn't logged a hold since the end of May, but he has collected three saves across 16 outings in that span. For the season, Abreu is at a 5.29 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 43:27 K:BB through 34 innings. At this time, it appears there's little chance of Abreu claiming a large share of high-leverage spots, though he's in the mix -- along with Bryan King and Enyel De Los Santos -- for save chances when Hader's not available.

Impact The Astros begin a three-game series in Toronto on Monday, so it's possible Abreu is dealing with a visa issue. If that's the case, Abreu will likely rejoin the team Thursday in Detroit. Logan VanWey is grabbing Abreu's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

JUNE 22 • ROTOWIRE

Fifth save of season Abreu recorded the save Saturday against the Royals after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit.

Impact Josh Hader earned the save Friday, but since he recently returned from the injured list earlier this month, it seems the Astros are not comfortable with him pitching on back-to-back days. Still, Abreu had no problem stepping to the mound in the ninth to secure his fifth save of the season. Abreu might have a 6.56 ERA across 27 appearances (23.1 innings) this season, but he's gone 5-for-5 in save chances and also has five holds. He should remain a reliable late-inning option out of the Astros' bullpen.
