José Abreu should join Astros in Seattle before Monday at the Mariners

José Abreu met the media Saturday in Sugar Land before his second game with the Space Cowboys. Abreu said he expects to fly to Seattle on Sunday and will rejoin the team before Monday night’s game against the Mariners.

Speaking through an interpreter, Abreu said the demotion to spring training was “the best thing” he’s ever experienced in his career. He said the experience made him realize who he was.

We’ll see if the adjustments Abreu has made to his timing and swing will allow him to return to being the player he once was.
