James Fegan of The Athletic Chicago reports that White Sox slugger José Abreu is dealing with flu-like symptoms ahead of their ALDS opener in Houston against the Astros.
Abreu will fly separately from the team though Fegan adds that Abreu’s condition is improving. The team’s medical staff has already ruled out COVID-19 as a cause of the illness after Abreu tested negative on multiple occasions.
Chicago will certainly hope to have the first baseman available on Thursday, considering that he’s coming off his fifth season with at least 30 home runs and his sixth with over 100 RBIs.
