Wilyer Abreu Homers, Scores Twice in Game 1 on Saturday
Wilyer Abreu scored twice after going 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in the team's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Orioles in Game 1 of their doubleheader on Saturday. Despite collecting at least one hit in four of his last five games, the left-handed hitter is batting just .154 (4-for-26) over the last week and a half, but keeps doing just enough to hold off Roman Anthony a little while longer. In aggregate, the season-long stats look good, with the 25-year-old accruing a .262-12-28-26-4 stat line with a .369 wOBA and a 134 wRC+. His .349 OBP is buoyed by an 11.8 percent walk rate and the solid batting average is sustained by an 83.0 percent contact rate. At this pace, the 5-foot-10 slugger will set multiple new career highs this season and will remain fantasy relevant while he's on the strong side of a right field platoon.
