Refsnyder (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder isn't a fixture in Boston's everyday lineup, but the right-handed hitter would normally be included in the starting nine against a southpaw starter like the Brewers' Aaron Ashby, who is on the bump Sunday. However, because Refsnyder is tending to a knee injury related to his MCL, he'll cede his spot in the outfield to Jaylin Davis. The Red Sox haven't indicated the extent of Refsnyder's MCL issue, but it's possible that he'll require a stint on the injured list.

Refsnyder is dealing with an MCL injury, Chad Jennings of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder has been out of the lineup for Boston's last four games, coinciding with the return of J.D. Martinez. However, there has apparently been more to Refsnyder's absence. The team is currently hopeful that Refsnyder will avoid a stint on the injured list.

Refsnyder is starting Friday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder was out of the lineup for three of the four games leading up to the All-Star break and was slated to come off the bench once again Friday. However, he'll serve as the designated hitter and bat second after J.D. Martinez (undisclosed) was scratched from the lineup.

Refsnyder is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though he's been a standout performer over the past two days with six hits -- including a home run and a double -- Refsnyder still looks to be little more than a short-side platoon player for Boston. With righty Jameson Taillon on the hill Sunday, the Red Sox will roll out an outfield consisting of three lefty hitters (Alex Verdugo, Jarren Duran and Jackie Bradley).

Refsnyder started in center field, batted leadoff and went 4-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's 12-5 loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder was a rare highlight on an ugly night in Boston. He filled in for Jarren Duran, who has in turn been filling in for the injured Enrique Hernandez (hip). Hernandez began a rehab assignment Friday -- 0-for-4 as designated hitter for Triple-A Worcester -- so the normal outfield order should be restored soon. At that point, it's unclear if Refsnyder will remain on the MLB roster, though he's certainly earned a longer look by batting .333 (18-for-54) in 17 contests since his June 9 recall.

Refsnyder is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder will sit for the second time in three games and appears to have settled back in as Boston's fourth outfielder following Jarren Duran's recent return from the restricted list. Though he should continue to pick up starts against left-handed pitching, Refsnyder could be at risk of moving off the active roster whenever Enrique Hernandez (hip) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.

Refsnyder will start in right field and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder will pick up his third straight start -- all of which have come out of the leadoff spot -- after he went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-5 loss. Though he's turned in a stellar 1.076 OPS over his 13 games with Boston this season, Refsnyder is expected to move back into a short-side platoon role by the weekend. Fellow outfielder Jarren Duran (personal) will be eligible to come off the restricted list for Friday's series opener in Chicago and should recapture a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching.

Refsnyder started in center field, batted leadoff and went 0-for-4 with a walk in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder took over in center field for Jarren Duran, who is unvaccinated for COVID-19 and thus unable to enter Canada. Refsnyder has been productive since coming up to Boston earlier this month, going 10-for-24 (.417) with five RBI and seven runs scored prior to Monday's game. He's expected to remain in the lineup for the final two games of the series in Toronto.

Refsnyder went 1-for-2 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder walked as a pinch hitter for Jackie Bradley in the seventh inning and got two more plate appearances over the final two innings. His ninth-inning double produced Boston's final run. With Jarren Duran (unvaccinated) unable to travel to Toronto next week and Enrique Hernandez (hip) batting an injury, Refsnyder should see action in the three-game set beginning Monday and stick on the MLB roster for the immediate future. During his callup to Boston, Refsnyder is 10-for-24 (.417) with one home run, two doubles, five RBI and seven runs over eight games.

Refsnyder went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run in Wednesday's 6-2 win against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder broke a 2-2 tie with his two-run shot to left field in the third inning, and he scored after smacking a double in the fifth. This was his fifth straight appearance with at least one hit, and he has gone 8-for-16 (.500) with four RBI over that span. He's hitting a robust .408 in 32 plate appearances on the campaign.
