Refsnyder went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs, two walks and a strikeout in a 5-3 triumph over the Astros on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder singled and scored in the first as part of a four-run inning, walked in the sixth, doubled and scored in the eighth and walked in the ninth to reach base four times for the second time this season. The utility man has enjoyed a successful 2021 campaign solely in the outfield with a .339/.403/.525 slash line, albeit in only 19 games.

The Twins reinstated Refsnyder (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

A hamstring strain had sidelined Refsnyder since June 14. Before the injury, he appeared in 18 games and hit .321 with 10 RBI in 56 at-bats. Nick Gordon was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Refsnyder (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder has been out with a strained left hamstring since mid-June. He hit surprisingly well in a small sample of 18 games prior to the injury, posting a .321/.371/.500 slash line, though a .400 BABIP deserves some of the credit for his success. That performance could earn him more looks down the stretch, however, especially if the Twins thin their roster out with some deadline deals.

Manager Rocco Baldelli said Monday that Refsnyder (hamstring) will resume jogging soon, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baldelli said that the club envisions the hamstring injury requiring 2-4 weeks in total to recover from, so given that Refsnyder has been out a week now, the outfielder figures to be anywhere from a week to three weeks from being activated. The longer he's unable to take live reps, however, the more likely the 30-year-old is to require a rehab assignment prior to being reinstated.

Refsnyder was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a strained left hamstring, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder returned from a four-game absence Sunday, but he's apparently not recovered from the hamstring injury. Byron Buxton (hip) is closing in on his return from the injured list, but Gilberto Celestino should continue to work in center field until Buxton is officially activated.

Refsnyder (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Refsynder hasn't played since exiting Tuesday's game against the Yankees with a left hamstring injury. The utility man has been considered day-to-day throughout the week, and he now feels good enough to rejoin the lineup. He'll bat fourth and play right field in Sunday's rubber match.

Refsnyder (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder suffered a left hamstring injury in Tuesday's loss to New York, and he'll remain out of the lineup for a second straight contest. Gilberto Celestino will start in center field and bat ninth.

Refsnyder (hamstring) won't be available for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins will delay moving Refsnyder to the 10-day injured list for the time being, but he could be at risk of being shut down again if he fails to demonstrate much progress in his recovery from the left hamstring injury by the time the weekend arrives. Refsnyder made his return from the IL on Tuesday after he had missed the Twins' previous six games with a sore quadriceps and a concussion.

Refsnyder was removed from Tuesday's game against the Yankees with left hamstring tightness, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old was activated from the 7-day concussion injured list Tuesday and went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI before leaving with the injury. The severity of the hamstring issue remains unclear, and Refsnyder should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.

Refsnyder (concussion) has passed the concussion protocol and will be activated Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A high-speed collision with the center-field wall gave Refsnyder both a concussion and quad soreness, but the week off allowed him time to recover from both injuries. Gilberto Celestino was optioned Tuesday to open a roster spot for Refsnyder.
