Nabs Opening Day roster spot Manager Dusty Baker confirmed Sunday that Abreu has made the Astros' Opening Day roster, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Baker said that Abreu and Ronel Blanco secured the final two spots in the Astros' season-opening bullpen after Brandon Bielak and Seth Martinez were optioned to Sugar Land, while non-roster invitees Adam Morgan and Zac Rosscup were informed they wouldn't make the club. Abreu, who owns a 4.69 ERA and 11.3 K-BB% across 42 career big-league appearances, is expected to fill a low-leverage role out of the Houston bullpen.

Sent to Triple-A Abreu was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Recalled Tuesday Abreu was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land prior to Tuesday's game against Kansas City, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Impact He'll take the roster spot of Pedro Baez, who landed on the injured list with right shoulder soreness Tuesday. Abreu has already spent substantial time with the big club in 2021, posting a 4.08 ERA and 35:17 K:BB across 35.1 innings.

Moves to taxi squad The Astros optioned Abreu to their taxi squad Wednesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact He'll cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to closer Ryan Pressly (personal), who was reinstated from the paternity list in a corresponding move. The Astros will conclude their road trip Wednesday with a game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, so expect Abreu to report to Triple-A Sugar Land once the big club begins its homestand Thursday.

Back with big club The Astros recalled Abreu from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Houston optioned Abreu to the minors Saturday, but he never reported back to Sugar Land and stuck around with the Astros on their West Coast road trip in case an extra reliever was needed. He'll be eligible to rejoin the Astros just one day later after closer Ryan Pressly was placed on the paternity list Sunday. Expect Abreu to work mostly in low-leverage spots out of the bullpen while he's on the 26-man active roster.

Optioned to Triple-A Abreu was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Abreu will be one of the players to make way as the Astros add their deadline-day acquisitions to the roster. He hasn't excelled this season, though his 4.08 ERA in 35.1 innings is perfectly serviceable, so he could certainly return to the big-league bullpen at some point in the second half.
