Wilyer Abreu Likely To Start In Right Field
11 months agoBoston Red Sox rookie outfielder Wilyer Abreu, who impressed in limited action late in 2023, appears likely to serve as the team's starting right fielder to begin the season, although fellow rookie outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela could also factor into the outfield picture in Boston. Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has also said this offseason that Abreu could see significant playing time in 2024 after the 24-year-old went 24-for-76 (.316) with two home runs, 14 RBI, three stolen bases and 10 runs scored in his first 28 big-league games to close out last season. Abreu is good on defense and hits the ball hard, but he doesn't run all that much and probably isn't going to hit for a very high average in his first full year in the majors. Still, if he's playing regularly in 2024, he'll at least be worthy of rostering in all AL-only fantasy leagues.
