We prove that for every uncountable cardinal $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$, the quasi-order of embeddability on the $\kappa$-space of $\kappa$-sized graphs Borel reduces to the embeddability on the $\kappa$-space of $\kappa$-sized torsion-free abelian groups. Then we use the same techniques to prove that the former Borel reduces to the embeddability on the $\kappa$-space of $\kappa$-sized $R$-modules, for every $\mathbb{S}$-cotorsion-free ring $R$ of cardinality less than the continuum. As a consequence we get that all the previous are complete $\Sigma^1_1$ quasi-orders.
