Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill will be on the bench in the second game of the three-game set against the Los Angeles Angels. O'Neill has been one of the best hitters of the season so far, posting an excellent .279/.426/.698, and is tied at the top in home run leaders with six. As a result, Wilyer Abreu will be batting in the two-hole and playing in right field. Abreu is off to a slow start to begin the season with a .190 AVG and just one extra-base hit. However, Abreu is a sneaky play in DFS as he should see plenty of at-bats and has a great matchup against Griffin Canning, who comes into today's game with a hefty 8.38 ERA.
Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill showed some muscle in Friday night's 8-6 win over the Los Angeles Angels in their home opener, going 3-for-4 with two solo home runs, two RBI and three runs scored. The 28-year-old has so far enjoyed playing for the Red Sox in 2024, as he's started the year by going 9-for-22 (.409) with a league-leading four home runs, four RBI, a stolen base and nine runs scored in 28 plate appearances in his first seven contests. The former Cardinals outfielder has also walked more (five times) than he's struck out (three times). The former third-round pick in 2013 by the Seattle Mariners has always had the talent, but injuries kept him from reaching his ceiling in his six years in St. Louis before joining the BoSox this past winter.
Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Oakland Athletics. It looks to be a normal day of rest for O'Neill in a day game following an extra-inning night game on Tuesday. The 28-year-old Canadian is off to a good start in his first year with the Red Sox through six games, going 6-for-18 (.333) with two home runs, two RBI, a stolen base, five walks and a league-high six runs scored in his first 23 plate appearances. With O'Neill out on Wednesday, Wilyer Abreu is starting in right field and batting ninth against A's right-hander Ross Stripling. Abreu has started the year just 1-for-10 with two walks and six strikeouts and should be avoided as a deep DFS sleeper on Wednesday.
Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. He will get the day off, with Wilyer Abreu getting the start in right field. O'Neill is slashing .286/.375/.714 with a home run and a stolen base over eight plate appearances in 2024. The 28-year-old's next chance to return to the lineup will be Sunday for the series finale against the Mariners. Abreu was on the bench for Boston's first two games and will make his season debut on Saturday. The 24-year-old slashed .316/.388/.474 with two home runs, 14 RBI, 10 runs scored, and three stolen bases over 28 games in 2023. Abreu struggled mightily this spring, hitting .127 over 63 at-bats, and can be avoided as a streamer or in DFS for Saturday's slate in a tough matchup against Logan Gilbert.
Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs, one stolen base and a solo home run. The home run would mark the fifth straight season that the slugger has gone yard on Opening Day, which is now a MLB record. O'Neill had a nice spring with his new club and should provide some punch in the Red Sox lineup this season. O'Neill hit 34 homers in 2021, but has dealt with injuries over the past season and has not seen the field much. As long as he can stay healthy, O'Neill makes for a very good bounce back candidate as well as an affordable power bat that can sprinkle in some steals.
