Refsnyder is starting at second base and batting eighth Tuesday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder is getting his fair share of work since being called up July 29. He's appeared in five of the team's eight games since then, and Tuesday will mark the 26-year-old's fourth start with the Jays. Refsnyder is a decent punt play at home against C.C. Sabathia, but owners who go that route should do so with limited expectations.

Refsnyder will man second base and bat ninth Sunday against the Angels, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being traded to the Blue Jays last Sunday and reporting to Triple-A Buffalo, Refsnyder didn't stick around in the minors before long, as the team recalled him prior to Saturday's contest to provide infield insurance with Troy Tulowitzki (ankle) hitting the DL. According to Nicholson-Smith, Tulowitzki sustained ligament damage to the ankle and could be facing a long-term absence, so Refsnyder could have an opportunity to see regular at-bats with the big club. Manager John Gibbons will likely use some combination of Ryan Goins, Darwin Barney and Refsnyder to handle the middle-infield spots in most games.

Refsnyder was called up by the Blue Jays on Saturday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Troy Tulowitzki (ankle) landing on the DL, Refsnyder will head up for his first opportunity with Toronto. Refsnyder had quite a bit of buzz around him when he debuted in 2015, but he hit just .241/.312/.332 in 94 games with the Yankees before being designated for assignment. At least he's a versatile defender, with the ability to play second base as well as the corner infield and corner outfield.

Refsnyder was traded Sunday to the Blue Jays in exchange for minor-league first baseman Ryan McBroom.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder, who the Yankees designated for assignment Wednesday, will report to Triple-A Buffalo with his new organization. While Refsnyder has exhibited strong contact-hitting abilities and a patient eye at the plate in the minors, he's been unable to translate that success to the big leagues, batting .241/.312/.332 across parts of three seasons with the Yankees. Still, Refsnyder's strong minor-league track record along with his ability to play all over the diamond and outfield make him an interesting reclamation project for the Blue Jays, who could bring him aboard in a utility role at some point later in 2017.

Refsnyder was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old hasn't produced much at the big-league level the past couple seasons, and now that New York has Todd Frazier to alleviate their corner infield issues in the big leagues, there's no reason to have Refsnyder on the 40-man roster. He'll likely act as organizational depth moving forward unless his positional versatility creates enough intrigue while he's exposed to waivers.

Refsnyder was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Refsynder had not started in a game since June 29 and, with the activation of Matt Holliday from the DL and acquisition of Garrett Cooper, there was simply no room on the roster for a reserve bat. He returns to Triple-A, where he is slashing a superb .309/.399/.455 with an .854 OPS through 34 games this season and will likely see more everyday playing time than he would in the Bronx. Don't be surprised to see Refsnyder get another shot down the line with a late-season call-up.

Refsnyder was recalled by the Yankees on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder has been moving between Triple-A and the majors all season, never able to duplicate his offensive success on the big league level. The 26-year-old is hitting .309 with an .854 OPS in the minors this season, but just .172 and .502 through 15 games with the Yankees. He'll provide some bench depth with outfielder Aaron Hicks (oblique) bound for the DL, and could compete for starts at first base with Tyler Austin.

Refsnyder was optioned by the Yankees on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder hasn't played a whole lot since being called up in late May, but even when he was plugged into the lineup, the results haven't been there. He is 5-for-26 with two extra-base hits during his time with the major-league club, earning one walk and striking out on six occasions. Refsnyder will head back down to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he is batting .303/.391/.454 on the year. The 26-year-old is likely to be back with the Yankees at some point in the near future.

Refsnyder is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder had started the previous two games at first base over Chris Carter, but Yankees manager Joe Girardi will give the slumping slugger a chance to break out of his season-long skid Tuesday with lefty Drew Pomeranz on the mound for Boston. If Carter's tailspin continues, Refsnyder could draw back into the lineup Wednesday and may be in line for most of the starts at the position until Greg Bird (ankle) is activated from the disabled list.

Refsnyder will start at first base and bat ninth Sunday against the Blue Jays, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Chris Carter hitting just .180 this season and failing to provide enough power to compensate for the low average, manager Joe Girardi has increasingly turned to Refsnyder at first base to give the Yankees a more contact-oriented bat. Refsnyder will make his fourth start in six games at the position, but may not see regular at-bats for long with Greg Bird (ankle) having already kicked off a rehab assignment in the minors and seemingly on track to return to the Yankees by mid June.
