Astros insider: For José Abreu, a career milestone comes amid recent improvement
Houston Astros Michael Brantley in the dugout during the second inning of an MLB baseball game at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday, June 13, 2023 in Houston.Seconds after the ball came off his bat and touched down on the grass in right-center field a few feet short of the warning track, José Abreu’s feet touched down safely on second base and put the Astros’ first baseman in rarefied company.
The milestone arrived just as Abreu appears to be turning a corner. In his first 54 games played this season through the end of May, he slashed .211/.276/.260 with one home run, 20 RBIs and eight multi-hit games. His OPS was .535 and he struck out 51 times with 16 walks. “I think we can all agree and we all know that baseball is a very, very difficult sport,” Abreu said. “Everything, just kind of like getting accustomed and adjusting to the personalities here in the clubhouse, getting accustomed to the field, are all things that can take some time. And, you know, for me obviously, recently we've been getting the results that we've wanted, but just know I've been working with Cintrón every single day.
