Refsnyder will start in right field and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder will pick up his eighth consecutive start Wednesday, but his run of regular playing time could come to an abrupt end in the coming days. In addition to bringing back Masataka Yoshida from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, the Red Sox returned another key regular to the lineup in Tyler O'Neill (knee), who will serve as Boston's designated hitter Wednesday following a three-game absence. Assuming O'Neill is cleared to play the corner outfield in the near future, Refsnyder could soon be relegated to a short-side platoon role. Wilyer Abreu (ankle) is also close to a return from the 10-day IL to further muddle Refsnyder's path to seeing steady at-bats versus right-handed pitching.

Refsnyder went 3-for-6 with two doubles and one run scored in Thursday's 14-2 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder got the start in right field and extended his hitting streak to nine games. In that span, he's gone 14-for-38 (.368) with five doubles and one home run. The outfielder has carried a high average all season, and he's now batting .346 through 35 contests. He's added just two homers, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored, one stolen base, 11 doubles and a triple over 116 plate appearances. Refsnyder splits his time between the corner outfield and designated hitter, and while he hasn't been limited to a true platoon role, he hasn't played on an everyday basis either.

Refsnyder is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder will be on the bench for a second straight game following a stretch of five consecutive starts. Though he's maintaining an excellent .333/.414/.517 slash line over 99 plate appearances on the season, Refsnyder still isn't being treated as an everyday player, at least against right-handed pitching. The Red Sox may continue to rotate a number of players at the designated-hitter spot against righties, with Garrett Cooper picking up the assignment Sunday.

Refsnyder will sit Saturday versus the Tigers, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder will get a breather after going 2-for-8 with a double and an RBI over the first two contests of the series, while he extended his hitting streak to five games Friday. Enmanuel Valdez will replace him at designated hitter and bat fifth against Detroit.

Refsnyder went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and a second run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder doubled off Grayson Rodriguez in the first inning before scoring on a Rafael Devers' base hit. He'd then cap the scoring in the ninth with a two-run, 419-foot homer off Keegan Akin to push Boston's lead to 8-3. It's just the second long ball of the year for Refsnyder, his first since April 19, though he's been swinging the bat well of late, going 11-for-29 (.379) in his last 10 contests. Overall, Refsnyder's slashing an impressive .347/.437/.547 with 13 RBI, 11 runs scored and a steal through 28 games in a utility role with the Red Sox this season.

Refsnyder (hamstring) is batting second and is the Red Sox's designated hitter Friday against the Nationals, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder exited Sunday's game against the Twins with left hamstring soreness and missed the ensuing series against Atlanta. However, Refsnyder now seems to be over the injury and will be back in action for Friday's contest.

Refsnyder was removed from Sunday's game against the Twins with left hamstring tightness, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder started in left field and went 1-for-2 with an RBI prior to exiting the contest. He'll have Monday's team off day to recover ahead of Tuesday's series opener in Atlanta.

Refsnyder went 2-for-5 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder is raking during a five-game hit streak, going 9-for-20 with extra-base hits in all five contests. The plan was for him to play against left-handers, but injuries to key players have led to four of his five starts against right-handers, against whom he's 7-for-16 with five extra-base hits.

Refsnyder is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder had started in right field in each of the previous four games, going 7-for-15 with one home run, four doubles, four runs, three RBI and one stolen base. Though his opportunities to start against right-handed pitching may become more scarce with Rafael Devers (knee) making his return from a one-week absence Wednesday, Refsnyder should still have the opportunity to play regularly versus southpaws.

Refsnyder went 1-for-3 with a double, a stolen base, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's 6-1 win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder, who has appeared in all four games since being activated off the injured list, has hit safely in three straight as a starter, going 4-for-12 with three doubles, a home run, three RBI and a stolen base. With Tyler O'Neill (concussion) due to return Tuesday, Refsnyder's starts in the outfield will dry up, but he could be used to help fill the void at first base following Triston Casas (ribs) landing on the 10-day injured list Sunday. The Red Sox fear the injury could result in a significant absence, and Refsnyder could be an option there along with Pablo Reyes (.174 average) and Bobby Dalbec (.033). At the very least, Refsnyder will likely be in the lineup anytime Boston faces a left-handed starter.
