Lands on IL with strained oblique The Red Sox placed Abreu on the 10-day injured list Monday with a strained left oblique.
Impact Abreu evidently suffered the injury during Sunday's win over the Yankees. The severity of the strain hasn't been revealed, so it's unclear how long Abreu might be sidelined, but oblique strains for position players typically aren't 10-day injuries. Top prospect Roman Anthony has been summoned to take Abreu's roster spot and will take over as the team's primary right fielder.

Going on 10-day injured list The Red Sox will place Abreu (undisclosed) on the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game against the Rays, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Impact It's not yet clear what injury Abreu is dealing with. He came off the bench in Sunday's win over the Yankees, flying out in his final plate appearance in the top of the ninth inning and catching a flyout in the bottom of the frame. The Red Sox will have more on his situation shortly.

Sitting against righty Abreu is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.
Impact It's notable because the Rays are starting right-hander Shane Baz, marking just the second time all season that Abreu has been absent from the lineup versus a righty. He was also out of the lineup each of the previous two days against lefties, which is common. Ceddanne Rafaela is making his first-ever start in right field Monday.

Idle against lefty Abreu is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.
Impact Abreu had started each of the last seven games while the Red Sox faced right-handed starters, but he'll hit the bench for the series opener versus the Angels with southpaw Tyler Anderson on the bump. Platoon mate Rob Refsnyder will fill in for Abreu in right field and will bat third.

Homers in loss Abreu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to Milwaukee.
Impact Abreu's seventh-inning home run tied the game and set up the need for an extra frame. The blast was the 13th of the season for Abreu, who has struggled for much of the month of May. He's batting .188 (13-for-69) with just four RBI (all on solo home runs) over the last 19 games.

Batting third Sunday Abreu will start in right field and bat third in Sunday's series finale against the Orioles.
Impact Abreu was elevated to third in the order for opening game of Saturday's doubleheader. That was Boston's first contest without its usual three hole hitter, Alex Bregman, who was added to the 10-day injured list with a quadriceps injury. Rob Refsnyder served as the third hitter in Saturday's nightcap against a lefty. That suggests manager Alex Cora will bat Abreu third against righties and Refsnyder against southpaws.

Batting third Sunday Abreu will start in right field and bat third in Sunday's series finale against the Orioles.
Impact This will be Abreu's second consecutive appearance batting third after being elevated there for the opening game of Saturday's doubleheader in place of Alex Bregman (quadriceps). Abreu was held out of Saturday's nightcap while Rob Refsnyder batted third against a lefty, an arrangement that will likely continue while Bregman is sidelined. Hitting behind the sizzling Rafael Devers (1.347 OPS over the last 16 games) can only enhance the fantasy value of each outfielder.

Not in Game 2 lineup Abreu is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles.
Impact Abreu went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored Game 1 of the twin bill. He will be on the bench for the start of Saturday's nightcap while Rob Refsnyder starts in right field and bats third.

Not starting Game 2 Abreu isn't in the lineup for the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Orioles.
Impact The lefty-hitting Abreu didn't start in the early game against left-handed starter Cade Povich, and it seems the Red Sox are going to keep the 25-year-old outfielder on the bench to conclude Friday's twin bill. Rob Refsnyder will pick up another start in right field as a result and bat third.

Sitting versus lefty again Abreu is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.
Impact The left-handed-hitting Abreu has played against some left-handers this season, but with Rob Refsnyder now healthy, Abreu will yield to Refsnyder in right field versus a lefty (in this case, Chris Sale) for the second straight contest. Abreu has just a .558 OPS in a limited sample (25 plate appearances) against lefties this season.
