Jose Abreu will have five days to rest up for the second half the season, as White Sox manager Robin Ventura decided to rest the banged-up first baseman for Sunday’s series finale against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
The 28-year-old Abreu has battled a sore leg/foot recently as well as an irritated right index finger, with the latter ailment initially aggravated in mid-May. It forced him out of the White Sox lineup for a few games in early June, too.
“This is just to give him an extra day going into the All-Star break to get four days and get an extra one,” Ventura said.
