Houston Astros reliever Bryan Abreu has faced challenges this season, posting a 6.39 ERA in 25.1 innings after previously recording a 2.30 ERA from 2022-2025. Once viewed as a high-end relief option, Abreu's inconsistent performance might make him a buy-low target before the August 3 trade deadline. Following the return of expected closer Josh Hader, Abreu has transitioned to a set-up role but has continued to experience difficulties. The Astros, looking to potentially trade Abreu, will need to find a willing partner amid his struggles and upcoming status as an unrestricted free agent.
