Refsnyder went 4-for-4 with a walk, a double, two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
He kept the Red Sox in the game nearly single-handedly, taking Cody Bradford deep for solo shots in the first and fourth innings before adding an RBI double in the seventh, but it wasn't enough. Refsnyder has three multi-hit performances in his last five starts, and he's hitting too well right now to be limited to a short-side platoon role -- since the All-Star break, the 33-year-old is batting .375 (12-for-32) with three doubles, three homers, six runs and eight RBI.

Refsnyder went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Refsnyder and Connor Wong went back-to-back off Carlos Rodon in the fourth to give the Red Sox their only two runs of the evening. The long ball was just his fifth of the year and it extended a four-game RBI streak during which he's racked up seven hits. The 33-year-old remains a reliable lineup fixture against lefties and is now slashing .310/.396/.478 with 26 RBI, 23 runs, a steal and a 22:52 BB:K in 212 plate appearances.

Refsnyder went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-0 win over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Refsnyder made a second consecutive start after being scratched from Sunday's starting lineup. The outfielder is 3-for-9 with a double and three RBI in the first two games of the series. With a right-hander (Cal Quantrill) scheduled to throw for the Rockies on Wednesday, Refsnyder could take a seat for the series finale.

Refsnyder (shoulder) will start in left field and bat second in Monday's game against the Rockies, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Refsnyder had been slated to start in Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Dodgers, but he was scratched from the lineup while he continued to deal with shoulder soreness, which stemmed from a defensive play the night before. The day off was apparently all Refsnyder needed for the issue to resolve itself, so he'll draw back into the lineup Monday while the Red Sox oppose another lefty in Austin Gomber.

Refsnyder was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Dodgers as a result of shoulder soreness, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Refsnyder was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers for unspecified reasons, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old was set to start in left field and bat leadoff against Los Angeles lefty James Paxton, but Refsnyder will now start the contest on the bench. The Red Sox have yet to provide an update, but it could be an injury situation since the outfielder is a lineup regular versus left-handed pitching.

Refsnyder batted leadoff and went 1-for-2 with a walk in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Red Sox manager Alex Cora had Refsnyder and Jarren Duran swap spots in the order against a left-hander. Boston has hit righties (.756 OPS) better than southpaws (.713) this season, so Cora was hoping to get a jump against Cole Ragans.

Refsnyder (knee) is serving as the designated hitter and batting second in Sunday's series finale against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Right knee soreness kept Refsnyder out of the starting lineup for each of the last three games. He did hit an RBI single in the top of the eighth inning of Saturday's 4-3 win over Cincinnati after pinch hitting for Wilyer Abreu, and Refsnyder stayed in right field for the last two frames. For the month of June, Refsnyder is slashing .308/.383/.385 with four RBI over 52 at-bats.

Manager Alex Cora said Friday that Refsnyder is dealing with right knee soreness, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cora noted that he didn't think the injury was serious, but Refsnyder hasn't been in the Red Sox lineup for two consecutive games, though it's unclear if that's due to the injury. Still, with Wilyer Abreu (ankle) expected to rejoin the active roster Saturday and Masataka Yoshida healthy, Refsnyder isn't expected to be a regular in the Boston order.

Refsnyder is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Refsnyder had started in each of the Red Sox's last four games and in 12 of the team's last 14 games overall, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday as Boston rolls out an outfield of Jarren Duran, Romy Gonzalez and Tyler O'Neill from left to right. With Masataka Yoshida healthy again and serving as Boston's primary designated hitter against right-handed pitching and with Wilyer Abreu (ankle) nearing a return from the injured list, Refsnyder looks like he'll soon be headed for a short-side platoon role.
