Wilyer Abreu Homers in Red Sox Narrow Loss
by Jesse Garcia | Red Sox Correspondent | Wed, Aug 14th 10:23pm EDT
Wilyer Abreu went 1-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in the Red Sox's 9-7 defeat to the Rangers.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo shot contributed to his season tally, bringing his home run count to 13 and RBI to 46. Despite the loss, Abreu's power continues to be a bright spot in an otherwise middling season. His .267 batting average is respectable, but his high strikeout rate remains a concern for fantasy managers. Looking ahead, Abreu's ability to mix in power with occasional speed (7 stolen bases) keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats, especially those that reward extra-base hits and home runs. However, his value could be limited by his propensity to strike out, which caps his batting average potential.
