Abreu back in Sox's lineup after needed break
Posted June 08, 2021 1:00 am
The White Sox are hoping Jose Abreu - in a 4-for-26 slump heading into Tuesday - gets back to his old self after a two-day break.
Monday was an off day and manager Tony La Russa sat Abreu out of Sunday's 3-0 win over the Tigers.
"Part of it was physical, mostly mental, especially since he plays at such a high level," La Russa said. "He puts so much responsibility on himself, you just wear the grey matter out. A day off was great. Two in a row, he's going to be himself. It's just fair once in a while to refresh."
