Abreu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two walks in Saturday's 11-8 extra-inning loss to the Yankees.
Abreu has been limited to bench duties somewhat regularly of late with the Red Sox facing five left-handed pitchers since the All-Star break. He's gone 5-for-18 with three extra-base hits and four RBI over his last seven games. The outfielder is slashing .266/.331/.485 with nine homers, 33 RBI, 39 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 269 plate appearances in a strong-side platoon role this year.
