CLEVELAND (AP) White Sox slugger Jose Abreu will miss Chicago’s three-game series against the Cleveland Indians because of an infection in his right thigh.
Abreu was hospitalized in Cleveland on Tuesday, where he had the infection ”cleaned up,” manager Rick Renteria said. The team will provide an update on Abreu on Friday in Chicago, the manager said.
Abreu is hitting .265 with 22 homers and 78 RBIs in 128 games. He spent three weeks on the disabled list (Aug. 22-Sept. 9) after undergoing surgery to repair a testicular torsion. He was activated on Sept. 10 and is hitless in his last 20 at-bats.
The 31-year-old first baseman was named to his second All-Star team this year. He needs three home runs to become the ninth player in major league history to hit at least 25 homers in each of his first five seasons.
