Outlook Bryan Abreu
Bryan Abreu shines in setup duties as Houston pushes toward the postseason
Abreu has been lights-out over the past week, tossing 4.1 scoreless innings with four strikeouts while allowing just one hit across four appearances. With fellow reliever Steven Okert sidelined by a hamstring injury, Abreu remains firmly entrenched in high-leverage setup duties ahead of closer Josh Hader. His late-inning reliability is vital for an Astros club that sits in first place in the AL West at 73-71 despite dropping two straight.
While his 4.11 ERA and 40 walks on the year reflect a disastrous start to the season, Abreu's second-half resurgence aligns with his career pedigree as an elite strikeout reliever. Mechanical tweaks and refined slider usage have completely stabilized his command, proving his sub-1.50 ERA over the last month is a genuine return to form rather than a fluke.
Houston hits the road for a six-game stretch against the Phillies and Rays, setting up multiple close-game opportunities for the bullpen. Our projections forecast Abreu for three innings of work with three strikeouts, a 1.03 WHIP, and strong hold potential for fantasy managers hunting ratios. Trust his sharp form and keep him active. Start.

Outlook Kodai Senga
Kodai Senga thrives in relief role, securing high-leverage opportunities for the Mets
Senga has thrived since shifting to relief, pitching to a 1.78 ERA with 11 strikeouts over 10.1 innings in his last 30 days, including five scoreless frames over the last two weeks. With Devin Williams on the injured list with a shoulder strain, Senga has emerged as a high-leverage weapon and collected six saves. He brings stability to the bullpen for a fifth-place Mets squad sitting at 65-78.
The bullpen transition has rescued what was a disastrous campaign in the rotation, where early struggles pushed his season ERA to 7.47. Our projections envisioned a 3.76 ERA and 10 saves, and his ghost fork and upper-90s heater play up much better in short bursts. His late-inning dominance looks sustainable for ratios and saves, even if command lapses linger.
New York embarks on a six-game road trip against the Marlins and Yankees, but with the starting rotation full, Senga will not make any starts this week. His fantasy value is restricted strictly to relief appearances and potential save chances. Unless your format heavily rewards SP-eligible relievers for saves, keep him on your bench. Sit.
