Returns from restricted list The Astros activated Abreu from the restricted list Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Abreu missed the series in Toronto earlier this week as he tended to a personal matter, but he's back for the weekend series in Detroit. Colton Gordon was sent down in a corresponding roster move.

Placed on restricted list The Astros placed Abreu on the restricted list Monday.

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.

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.

Steps in for save in 10th frame Abreu notched a save against the Angels on Monday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter over one scoreless inning.

Impact Josh Hader was deployed with the score tied in the bottom of the ninth inning and struck out the side in order. After Houston plated a run in the top of the 10th, manager Joe Espada turned to Abreu, whose last save had come May 19. The right-hander got the job done with some help from his defense -- Jose Siri singled off Abreu to lead off the frame, but Brice Matthews threw Mike Trout out at home plate. With Hader back in action, Abreu isn't likely to get many save chances moving forward, but he should be an option on days when Hader is unavailable.

Records one-out save vs. Twins Abreu earned the save in Tuesday's 2-1 against the Twins, recording the final out of the game.

Impact After Bryan King allowed the potential tying run to reach base with two outs in the ninth inning, Abreu was summoned to close things out. The right-hander added some drama by hitting Luke Keaschall to move the lead runner into scoring position, but he recovered by inducing a game-ending popout from Byron Buxton. The save was his third in as many chances. Abreu has been scoreless over his last six appearances, but his early-season struggles continue to weigh down his overall numbers, as he currently owns a 7.63 ERA and 2.09 WHIP across 15.1 innings.

Collects second save of 2026 Abreu earned the save in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Rangers, allowing one hit and one walk over 1.1 scoreless frames.

Impact Both Bryan King and Enyel De Los Santos were deployed earlier in Saturday's game, so Abreu was tasked with closing things out for the Astros. He was called in for the eighth with two runners on base but got Justin Foscue to fly out to end the inning, and Abreu worked around two baserunners in the ninth to collect his second save of the season. King and De Los Santos figure to be Houston's preferred closer options until Josh Hader (biceps) is cleared to return from the 60-day IL, though Abreu will be in the mix for saves from time-to-time.

Picks up first win Abreu (1-2) earned the win Sunday over the Red Sox, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out one over two innings.

Impact After Abreu worked around a one-out single in the ninth inning, the Astros tallied a pair of runs in the top of the 10th. Abreu would come back out in the bottom half, where he'd coax a game-ending double play off the bat of Ceddanne Rafaela to close out his first win this year. It's certainly a step in the right direction for Abreu. The right-hander was expected to serve as Houston's closer in the absence of Josh Hader (biceps), though he got off to a brutal start this season, allowing at least one run in eight of his first 11 appearances. Abreu's ERA now sits at 10.32 with a 2.47 WHIP and 17:16 K:BB across 11.1 innings.
