4 entriesHeld the closer role through Hader's 60-day absence, but Josh Hader was reinstated Tuesday and immediately reclaimed saves. Abreu remains a high-leverage setup arm with holds value, but his save opportunities are gone for the foreseeable future.
Scoreless in 6 straight, but his 7.63 ERA on the year and 2.09 WHIP tell you the hot stretch isn't the norm. Hader (5 more rehab outings needed) is coming back by early June — Abreu's role has an expiration date. Stream saves while you can, but don't pay closer value in a trade.
Closer Monkey's vulture-save priority. With Josh Hader still 12 days from return (May 24 estimate), Abreu has the high-leverage 9th locked. He earned his 4th save Sunday; if Hader is delayed at all, Abreu becomes a top-25 RP. Speculative add in 14+ team leagues.
Hader still ~one month out. Abreu un-rosterable. Bryan King is the speculative add until Hader returns late April.
