“Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu will travel to Houston tonight after battling flu-like symptoms over recent days,” the White Sox said in a statement. “Jose is feeling better, and his symptoms are improving. Multiple tests have confirmed that his illness is not Covid-related. A decision on his availability for Game 1 of the ALDS will be made tomorrow.”

Abreu, 34, batted .261 with 30 home runs and 117 RBIs this season.
