Refsnyder has made the Red Sox Opening Day roster, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports,

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder signed a minor-league deal with a spring training invite in November, batting .185 with three extra-base hits, four runs and two RBI while striking out 11 times over 27 at-bats. Refsnyder produced a slash of .245/.325/.338 with nine extra-base hits and 21 runs in 51 games with the Twins in 2021. The 31-year-old will likely operate as a depth option in the outfield, drawing only the occasional spot start.

Refsnyder is starting Thursday's Grapefruit League opener against the Twins, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder missed the end of the 2021 campaign with a right elbow impingement, but he'll start in left field and bat fourth in Thursday's spring game. He should have a chance to compete for a depth role with the Red Sox as a non-roster invitee during camp.

Refsnyder (elbow) signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder has played parts of six seasons in the majors and has yet to show he's anything more than a bench player. His 86 wRC+ last season, the product of a .245/.325/.338 slash line, is unimpressive but nonetheless represents his highest mark since his 16-game debut in 2015.

Refsnyder (elbow) was outrighted off the Twins' 40-man roster Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder appeared in 51 games for the Twins in 2021 and hit .245/.325/.338 with two homers, 12 RBI and 21 runs. He finished the season on the injured list with a right elbow impingement and also missed nearly two months earlier in the year with a hamstring strain.

Refsnyder was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right elbow impingement, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of the injury is not yet clear, though Refsnyder doesn't have much time to return before the end of the year, as he won't be eligible to return until the final week of the season even if he misses just the minimum 10 days. Drew Maggiwas called up to fill Refsnyder's place on the roster.

Refsnyder is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

After a stretch of three straight starts in which he went 1-for-9 with a double and a run scored, Refsnyder will give way to Jake Cave in left field for the series finale. Brent Rooker (personal) is expected to return from the paternity list this weekend in Toronto and take back primary duties in left field, so Refsnyder's window for steady playing time looks to have closed.

Refsnyder will start in left field and bat seventh Monday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

After going 1-for-4 with a run in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Royals while filling in for a resting Max Kepler in right field, Refsnyder will shift over to the other corner-outfield spot to replace Brent Rooker (personal), who was moved to the paternity list Sunday. Rooker should be on track to take back a near-everyday role in left once he returns by the middle of the week, so Refsnyder looks like he'll be in store for only a short-term bump in playing time.

Refsnyder will start in right field and bat third Monday against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder will pick up his second start in three games, this time filling in for Max Kepler in right field. The lefty-hitting Kepler should be a fixture in the lineup versus right-handed pitching, but Refsnyder could still contend for a regular role in left field, which remains unsettled. Manager Rocco Baldelli will hand Brent Rooker the start in left in Monday's game, making Rooker the fourth different player in as many days to cover the position.

Refsnyder is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder will retreat to the bench after he started in left field in both of the Twins' last two games versus the Yankees this weekend, going 1-for-8 between those contests. Brent Rooker will be back in the lineup Tuesday, but Refsnyder looks to be encroaching on his role as the Twins' top option in left field.

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.
