Homer, four RBI in win Abreu went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, four RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 12-11 victory over Texas.

Impact Abreu blasted a three-run, 452-foot homer off Glenn Otto in the fourth inning before tying the game with an RBI double in the ninth. The homer was Abreu's seventh of the year, six of which have come in his previous 20 games. The veteran first-baseman has gone 15-for-41 (.366) with seven extra-base hits over his last 10 contests, boosting his slash line to .243/.292/.358 with 45 RBI and 28 runs scored through 342 plate appearances this season.

Raps out three hits Abreu went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact Abreu's hitting came around as he batted .292 in June, and after an 0-for-3 effort Saturday, he bounced back with Sunday's three-hit game. It's just his second three-hit effort of the year, the other being June 14 versus the Nationals. The first baseman is up to a .240/.291/.344 slash line with six home runs, 41 RBI, 26 runs scored and 14 doubles through 80 contests. Making more consistent contact is helping improve his line, but he's still lacking in the power department, though he has an extra-base hit in five of his last eight contests.

Stays hot in June Abreu went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's victory over the Cardinals.

Impact It had been a slow start for Abreu in Houston, especially in the power department, but he appears to have found a groove in June, slashing .292/.305/.517 over his last 22 appearances. The veteran has 10 extra-base hits, including five home runs, and 19 RBI during that stretch, but he's drawn just two walks. Despite his early offensive struggles, Abreu remains locked in as an everyday player and has appeared in 76 of the Astros' first 80 games.

Gets rest day Abreu is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Mauricio Dubon will pick up a start at first base while Abreu takes a seat for the first time since June 4, breaking a streak of 15 consecutive starts. The 2020 American League MVP remains in the midst of a career-worst season, but he's at least shown some signs of life in June, turning in a .734 OPS through 18 games this month.

Piling up extra-base hits Abreu went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored Friday against the Reds.

Impact Abreu started a ninth-inning rally with a leadoff double and ultimately scored the Astros' only run. Across his first 61 games of the season, he managed only nine-extra base hits. In seven games since, he's racked up three homers and three doubles while also scoring five runs and driving in 10. Abreu has settled into the fifth spot in the lineup with Yordan Alvarez (oblique) sidelined.

Homer, three RBI in win Abreu went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's victory over the Nationals.

Impact Abreu got the scoring started with a two-run double in the first inning before belting a homer off Josiah Gray in the fourth. Abreu now has four homers on the season, including three in his last five games. He's gone 11-for-27 (.407) with five multi-hit efforts in his previous six contests. After a very slow start in Houston, Abreu is now slashing .233/.289/.320 with 20 runs scored and 33 RBI through 277 plate appearances on the campaign.

Homers in second straight game Abreu went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 6-4 victory versus Cleveland.

Impact That's now two straight games with a homer for Abreu, who went just deep just once over his first 61 contests this season. The veteran has also tallied three consecutive multi-hit performances, so there's reason to believe that he may be turning around what has been a mediocre season thus far. Abreu is still slashing just .223/.279/.293 overall, so he has a long way to go to avoid finishing with the worst campaign of his career.

Socks second homer Abreu went 2-for-7 with a three-run home run in Friday's 10-9 extra-innings loss to the Guardians.

Impact The veteran first baseman took Logan Allen deep in the first inning to give the Astros an early lead that the bullpen squandered. It's only Abreu's second homer of the year, but they've both come in the last 12 games. It's a sliver of hope in what has been a disastrous first campaign with Houston, but his .244/.308/.400 slash line over that 12-game stretch only looks good in comparison to his .219/.277/.278 line on the season.
