Refsnyder started in left field and went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder was in the starting lineup against a lefty -- just his second start over the last two weeks. He was able to provide production despite being limited to 10 plate appearances over the last 13 games. Refsnyder, who is hitting .224 with a .662 OPS, should be in the lineup most nights against southpaws, against whom he has a .306 average and .821 OPS.

Refsnyder will start in left field and bat third in Monday's game against the Angels, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder's received several starts -- in center field and left field -- over the last week with Adam Duvall (wrist) on the injured list and Masataka Yoshida out with a hamstring injury. Refsnyder started in left field Sunday when Yoshida returned as the designated hitter and will remain there Monday, as the Red Sox bring Yoshida back slowly following a four-game absence. Jarren Duran has been called up from Triple-A Worcester on Monday and will start in center field, Duvall's position. The Red Sox could end up settling on a platoon in center field with some combination of Refsnyder and Enrique Hernandez as the right-handed options and Duran and Raimel Tapia as the left-handed options.

Refsnyder is starting again in left field and batting third for the Red Sox on Friday versus the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder popped a solo home run Thursday to earn a second straight start in place of the injured Masataka Yoshida (hamstring). The 32-year-old will be going up against Patrick Sandoval.

Refsnyder went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-3 loss to the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder took Jeffrey Springs deep with two outs in the first inning, giving the Red Sox an early 1-0 lead. It's the first homer of the season for Refsnyder, who hit six in 153 at-bats last season. The 32-year-old outfielder has gotten off to a sluggish start at the plate this year, going 4-for-22 with five runs and four RBI. However, Refsnyder could see a boost in playing time with Masataka Yoshida (hamstring) day-to-day and Adam Duvall (wrist) set for an extended absence.

Refsnyder is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder went a combined 0-for-7 while starting in center field in both of the first two games of the series at Tampa Bay, which came with the Rays bringing a pair of left-handed starting pitchers to the hill. The righty-hitting Refsnyder will give way to the lefty-hitting Raimel Tapia in center field Wednesday while Boston faces a right-hander (Taj Bradley) for the first time in the series. Manager Alex Cora could end up taking a platoon approach to center field while Adam Duvall (wrist) is out indefinitely, meaning that Refsnyder could see fewer opportunities than Tapia moving forward.

Refsnyder started in center field and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 1-0 loss to Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder was given the first crack at replacing Adam Duvall (wrist) in center field, but it sounds like manager Alex Cora has multiple lineup iterations to cover for the injured Duvall, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Refsnyder (39 career games in center) and Raimel Tapia (77) are both capable of playing there. Refsnyder is expected to start against left-handers, and the Red Sox are projected to see a slew of them over the next week or so, but Cora said he may also use Enrique Hernandez, who is playing shortstop to start 2023 but served as Boston's primary center fielder the last two seasons. Lastly, Jarren Duran, a natural center fielder at Triple-A Worcester, could eventually enter the mix after's the team's stretch against left-handed starters. That's why the club opted to bring up the righty-hitting Bobby Dalbec after placing Duvall on the IL.

Refsnyder went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's win over Detroit. He also drew a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder's free pass with the bases loaded extended the Boston lead to 2-0 in the second inning. He extended the blowout with an RBI single in the eighth to make it 12-2. Refsnyder has gone 2-for-9 over five games in 2023, and he isn't likely to see much playing time unless a southpaw is on the mound.

Refsnyder went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Saturday's spring game against Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder, who made positive contributions in a limited role last season, entered spring training with a bead on the fourth outfielder job, but he's still looking for his first hit in Grapefruit League action. He's 0-for-17 with seven strikeouts and could be in danger of losing out on a roster spot. It was initially thought Jarren Duran was his main competition, but Raimel Tapia (8-for-19, five doubles, 1.263 OPS) is looking like a stronger candidate than both.

The Red Sox agreed with Refsnyder (back) on a one-year, $1.2 million contract Wednesday to avoid arbitration, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder finished the season on the 10-day injured list while he battled low back spasms, but Boston reinstated him to the 40-man roster and 28-man active roster just one day after the regular season concluded. He should thus be in store for a healthy offseason while already under contract for the 2023 season. While serving mostly as a short-side platoon player in the Red Sox outfield in 2022, Refsnyder slashed an impressive .307/.384/.497 in 177 plate appearances. Depending on what kind of additions the Red Sox make in the outfield this winter, Refsnyder could see his opportunities against right-handed pitching increase heading into the upcoming season.

Refsnyder was placed on the 10-day injured list with low back spasms Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder didn't play in four of the last five games, and he'll be held out for the remainder of the season due to his back issue. Over 57 games in 2022, the 31-year-old slashed .307/.384/.497 with six homers, 25 runs, 21 RBI and a stolen base. It's not yet clear whether his injury will impact his offseason program.
