Wilyer Abreu MLB News & Injury Updates

Abreu was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Athletics with some swelling in his shin/calf area, but it sounds like he has a chance to play in Sunday's series finale. Boston is in the middle of a 16-game stretch with no off days. The 27-year-old is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak and five straight games with at least one RBI as well.

Abreu capped off the Red Sox's five-run second inning with an RBI double to right field that was just a few feet short of clearing the wall for a three-run homer, and he added to Boston's lead with an RBI single in the seventh. Abreu has recorded at least one RBI over his last five outings and logged two hits in four of those games.
