Refsnyder will be included on the Rangers' Opening Day roster, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Refsnyder joined Texas as a non-roster invitee in November and made a strong impression before spring training was shut down. The 29-year-old last appeared in the majors with Tampa Bay in 2019 and had a .877 OPS at Triple-A last season.

Refsnyder was named to the Rangers' 60-man player pool Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Refsnyder trained with the Rangers in spring training as a non-roster invitee and made a positive impression before MLB paused the season. He's an ideal add to any team's player pool. The 29-year-old outfielder, who has history at second and first base, played parts of four seasons in the majors before spending the entirety of 2019 in the minors with the Diamondbacks and Reds.

Refsnyder signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Wednesday that includes an invite to spring training, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
In 85 games with Triple-A Louisville last season, Refsnyder slashed .315/.377/.500 with 10 home runs and 45 RBI, but he has failed to translate his minor-league production into major-league success. He carries a .218/.308/.302 slash line with four home runs through 166 games over four partial big-league seasons. While his contract includes an invitation to spring training, it would be somewhat surprising to see him take on a consistent role in the Rangers' outfield, given his lack of success in the past.

Cincinnati released Refsynder from his minor-league contract Tuesday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old utility man was an above-average regular during his time in the Triple-A ranks this season, slashing .312/.374/.492 across 338 plate appearances (122 wRC+). He shouldn't have trouble landing another minor-league deal elsewhere, though he may have to wait until the offseason to find a new organization.

Refsnyder was traded from the Diamondbacks to the Reds on Sunday for a player to be named later or cash.
EDGE Analysis
Refsnyder signed a minor-league deal with Arizona in November and went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his lone appearance with Triple-A Reno. The 28-year-old slashed .167/.314/.274 in 40 games with the Rays last season and will report to Triple-A Louisville.

Refsnyder was assigned to minor-league camp Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Refsnyder was invited to big-league camp when he signed his minor-league deal back in November, though he was never particularly likely to break camp with the team. His career .218/.308/.302 slash line in 166 games makes him best suited for an organizational depth role.

Refsnyder agreed Wednesday with the Diamondbacks on a one-year, minor-league contract.
EDGE Analysis
Refsnyder's contract includes an invitation to major-league spring training, though it's most likely that he reports to Triple-A Reno to begin the 2019 campaign. The 27-year-old owns a middling .218/.308/.302 line over 423 career plate appearances in the big leagues but makes up for it some degree with the ability to play both corner-outfield spots and three infield positions.

Refsnyder cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Durham on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Refsnyder was designated for assignment Monday and will join the Bulls after going unclaimed on waivers. The 27-year-old had a .167/.314/.274 line with two home runs in 100 plate appearances with the Rays this season.

Refsnyder was sent down to the minors Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Refsynder will head to Triple-A Durham after struggling to a .167 batting average with two homers and five RBI through 40 games in the big leagues this season. The move was made to make room on the 40-man roster for the impending activation of Kevin Kiermaier.

Refsnyder is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Refsnyder had started the past four games in left field, going 1-for-14 with a walk in a run scored in those contests. With Johnny Field re-entering the lineup Wednesday and starting in the outfield after a knee injury prevented him from playing Tuesday, Refsnyder looks set to fade back to a reserve role.
