"Are we concerned? Yes and no. He'll be back at one point, but I think it's been longer than expected."
"I'll say this: I've seen enough great glove work from Abreu that I'm confident he would have caught the crazy home run that Trevor Story hit yesterday, which is just one example of the ways the Sox have benefitted from Fenway's quirky dimensions this season."
"Story's home run was one of a number of things that happened over the weekend that has the Red Sox feeling real real good about life right now, joining Payton Tolle's debut, Jarren Duran's inside-the-parker, and the Aroldis Chapman extension."
Wilyer Abreu strained his right calf two weeks ago. Initial expectation was that the injury might be minor enough to avoid the injured list. Abreu was placed on the 10-day injured list and remains on it beyond the initial timeframe. He is currently on a running progression with no firm return date. Team commentary described concern as mixed and noted the recovery has taken longer than expected. Abreu's defensive value is highlighted as significant. The Red Sox enjoyed several positives over the weekend, including a short Trevor Story homer, Payton Tolle's debut, Jarren Duran's inside-the-parker, an Aroldis Chapman extension, and Roman Anthony's strong showing, leaving the club in playoff contention with rotation questions ahead.
