Wilyer Abreu News: Out against lefty in series finale

Abreu is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Abreu got the start in the Red Sox's most recent matchup against a lefty starter (Yusei Kikuchi) on Wednesday, but the outfielder will head to the bench Sunday against Eric Lauer. For the season, Abreu is slashing just .219/.324/.281 (73 wRC+) in 37 plate appearances versus lefties, so the Red Sox will keep him on the bench for those matchups more often than not.
