Refsnyder (toe) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder is nearly a month removed from suffering a fractured left pinky toe and is finally ready to test things out in a game setting. Given that he's missed a good amount of time, he presumably will require a handful of rehab contests before being activated. Once he returns, Refsnyder should see regular starts versus left-handed pitching.

Refsnyder (toe) could begin a rehab assignment next week, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boston manager Alex Cora said Refsnyder is ramping up back at camp in Fort Myers. Both Refsnyder and Vaughn Grissom (groin) are on similar paths and will join teammates at Fenway Park next Tuesday for the home opener against the Orioles. The hope is both can begin playing in games shortly after that.

The Red Sox placed Refsnyder (toe) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder is likely to miss most or all of the first month of the season while he recovers from a fractured left pinkie toe. According to MLB.com, Refsnyder isn't being shut down entirely while he recovers from the injury, as he's been able to play catch and take batting practice in recent days.

Refsnyder was diagnosed Wednesday with a fractured left pinky toe, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder suffered the injury when he was hit by pitch during Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals and could be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks, per Sean McAdam of MassLive.com. If there's a silver lining, Refsnyder's absence could make it easier for the Red Sox to carry Ceddanne Rafaela on the Opening Day roster.

Refsnyder was removed from Tuesday's Grapefruit League game versus the Cardinals after being hit on the left foot by a pitch, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder said afterward that he has a crack in the small toe on the foot, although it's not clear whether he's referring to a fracture or something else. The Red Sox should offer more clarity on the outfielder's status soon.

Refsynder went 1-for-2 with two RBIs in Boston's 7-6 Grapefruit League win over Philadelphia on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Refsynder smashed an RBI single in the bottom of the first inning and hit a ground ball that resulted in another run for Boston later in the contest. It's a small sample size, but over three spring training games, the 32-year-old has maintained an impressive .900 on-base percentage. Given his career .324 slugging percentage, it's safe to say Refsnyder's value will be reliant on his positional versatility in the outfield. Expect the veteran to compete for a fourth or fifth outfielder spot throughout spring training.

Refsnyder started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder got the start against a left-hander, against whom he entered with a .912 OPS, which increased to .919 following the game. It was his third start (one against a right-hander) over the last four games, and he hit safely in all three (going 4-for-12 with two walks, four runs, two RBI). The steal was Refsnyder's seventh, a career-high for the outfielder.

Refsnyder will start in left field for a second straight game Sunday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder started in left field Saturday while Masataka Yoshida served as the designated hitter, but the latter was removed from the game after getting hit by a pitch on the leg. X-rays came back negative, but Yoshida is being held out of Sunday's lineup, enabling Refsnyder to get into the lineup again. Refsnyder had a couple of hits, including a double, a walk and a stolen base (his fifth) Saturday.

Refsnyder went 2-for-3 with a walk, a triple, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start in left field and hitting leadoff with lefty Austin Gomber on the mound for Colorado, Refsnyder connected on his first extra-base hit in June while producing his first multi-hit performance since May 24. The steal was his fourth of the season, tying his career high, and he continues to excel in his platoon role -- through 72 plate appearances against left-handed pitching this year, Refsnyder sports a .995 OPS.

The Red Sox signed Refsnyder to a one-year, $1.85 million, extension Saturday that includes a $2 million club option for 2025, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox have grown to trust Refsnyder, who has filled various outfield roles for Boston in one-plus seasons with the organization. He'll start in center field and bat fifth for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rays.
