With Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez sidelined due to a right oblique injury, the team is looking for other players to step up. It hasn't taken long for first baseman Jose Abreu to answer the call.
Abreu is heating up at the right time for the Astros, who face the host Cleveland Guardians in the rubber match of a three-game series on Sunday.
"I really can't tell you yet if I feel fully better at the plate now than before," Abreu said. ", I felt a lot better. I'm going to go out there and try to battle every single game." "This has kind of been my main goal since being with the Astros, cracking the rotation," Bielak said. "I'm still kind of taking it and doing the best I can to just run with it."
"I guess I bounced back all right," Bieber said. "Could have and should have been better and not as tight of a game going into the later innings, but it is what it is."
