| Breaking News |  | Thursday, October 15th, 1931: Abreu Out for One Week
Watching Bobby Abreu getting helped off the field today at Speyside, fans of the Buckie Whalers feared the worst. The news wasn't quite as bad as initially feared, but the right fielder will miss one week with bruised ribs. "We feel we've dodged a bullet. When you see a guy break down like that, you worry right away," a team spokesman said. Abreu suffered the injury making a defensive play in the game against the Bulls.
In the current season, Abreu has put up a .265 batting average with 153 hits, 29 home runs, 124 RBIs and scored 128 times.
