2024 Fantasy Outlook
Abreu passed up a few relievers in Houston's high-leverage hierarchy last season. Serving as the Astros' primary setup man in the eighth inning, Abreu established career highs across multiple categories in 2023, including games played (72), innings (72.0), saves (five) and holds (24). The 26-year-old posted elite ratios and was one of five relievers last season to record 100-plus strikeouts, hitting that mark right on the nose after throwing far more sliders (58.7% usage). The right-hander's upper-90s fastball was also more effective (.165 BA, 37.3% whiff), supplementing his slider as a secondary strikeout pitch. Abreu was looking like Houston's future closer, and he could still end up in the ninth, though he's been pushed back down the ladder for the time being with the addition of Josh Hader.

Earns first save
Abreu allowed a hit in a scoreless inning and earned a save over Baltimore on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Abreu worked around a two-out single to close out the chaotic 14-11 victory. It was his first save of the year and he extended his scoreless streak to 8.2 innings. After allowing six runs in 5.2 innings to begin his season, Abreu has yielded just five runs in his last 32 appearances, lowering his season ERA to 2.58. Josh Hader seemingly received a routine day off after earning back-to-back saves against the White Sox on Wednesday and Thursday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2020
Abreu graduated from middle relief to high leverage as an important part of the Astros' late-inning bridge to closer Ryan Pressly. The fourth-year pro tallied a career-high 60.1 innings across 55 appearances, of which 17 were multi-inning stints. Walks (3.9 BB/9) were still an issue, but Abreu's 13.1 K/9 was 7th-best among qualified relievers thanks to a devastating slider that produced 63 of his 88 strikeouts. Abreu's fastball wasn't as effective, but he added a tick-and-a-half of velocity on average (97.2 mph) and approached triple-digits during the World Series. He also generated plenty of whiffs (98th percentile) while limiting hard contact with elite barrel (95th%) and hard hit (89th) percentages. Despite the breakout season, Abreu is unlikely to see many save chances in 2023 with Rafael Montero and Hector Neris likely ahead of him in the hierarchy. He's still worth a look in deeper formats for strikeouts and ratio support.
