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.

Refsnyder is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder will be on the bench for the fourth time in seven games while the Rays run out an outfield of Carlos Gomez, Mallex Smith and Johnny Field. A timeshare had previously been in place in the corner outfield between Refsnyder and Field, but the latter's comparatively hotter bat has made him the clear Option 1A over the past week. Refsnyder offers the better plate discipline of the two players with a .358 on-base percentage on the season, but he can't match the speed or power upside Field brings to the table and is thus the less interesting fantasy entity.

Refsnyder went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder extended the Athletics' lead to 4-0 with a 381-foot shot to center in the third, plating C.J. Cron and Wilson Ramos. The blast helped support a brilliant debut effort by Nathan Eovaldi and was Refsnyder's first round tripper since April 27. The 27-year-old now has a modest four-game hitting streak as he continues to split time in the left field with Johnny Field.

Refsnyder isn't in Tuesday's starting lineup against the Athletics, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder will take a seat for the second straight game with Johnny Field taking over in left field and batting ninth. He's batting a dismal .208 with one home run and two RBI across 28 games this season with the Rays.

Refsnyder is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite reaching base six times over the past two games, Refsnyder will head to the bench while Johnny Field picks up a start in left field. Refsnyder started the first three games following Denard Span's departure, so he figures to continue to see opportunities so long as he holds his own at the dish.

Refsnyder will start in left field and bat ninth Sunday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder will be rewarded with a third consecutive start after going 3-for-6 with a walk, run and RBI over the first two games of the series. His entry into the lineup was made possible by Friday's trade that sent Denard Span to the Mariners, with Refsnyder getting the call over Johnny Field to man left field. Look for Refsnyder to receive steady at-bats against both right- and left-handed pitching so long as his acquits himself well at the plate.

Refsnyder went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in a win over the Red Sox on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder drew the start in left field and made noise out of the bottom of the order, connecting for his first home run of the season in the process. It was also the 27-year-old's first multi-hit game as he continues to see sporadic playing time during Kevin Kiermaier's (thumb) absence.

Refsnyder will start Friday's game in left field and bat ninth in the order, Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder also earned a start during Thursday's Opening Day outing, going 1-for-3 with a pair of walks in the Rays' win. Both these starts will have come against the Red Sox's dominant southpaws -- Chris Sale and David Price -- so it appears as though Refsynder's playing time will be dictated by the handedness of the pitcher.

Refsnyder was traded to the Rays for cash considerations Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder was claimed off waivers by the Indians in November but failed to make the Opening Day roster. The 27-year-old utility man can cover all four corners and second base, but his bat is weak, with a career .233/.306/.311 line in 320 major-league plate appearances. Even if he winds up with unexpected playing time at one of his many positions, he's unlikely to be much of a fantasy asset.
