EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder, who played five innings, began a rehab assignment with the Sea Dogs and appears to be nearing a return to the majors. Both he and Enrique Hernandez (hip) were in the lineup for Portland. Each player could be activated in time for the series beginning Tuesday in Pittsburgh.
