Refsnyder (undisclosed) is starting in right field and batting leadoff Sunday versus the Cardinals, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder hasn't been in the lineup since Tuesday while dealing with some general soreness, but he'll rejoin the starting nine for Sunday's series finale. He's hit well since being promoted June 9, going 6-for-13 with an RBI and four runs scored.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday during his appearance on SportsRadio 93.7 WEEI-FM's "Merloni, Fauria, & Mego" program that Refsnyder is "banged up" coming out of Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder, who went 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI on Tuesday while making his second straight start in center field, doesn't sound like he'll be included in the lineup for Wednesday's contest. With Cora also confirming that Christian Arroyo (illness) tested positive for COVID-19, Jarren Duran will be called up from Triple-A Worcester and will pick up a start in the outfield Wednesday.

Refsnyder went 3-for-4 with a run and a sacrifice fly during Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder hit leadoff for the third time in the past four games -- all three of which have come against a left-handed starting pitcher -- and he set the table perfectly Tuesday. The 31-year-old should continue to have a regular role against lefties until Enrique Hernandez (hip) is able to return from the injured list.

Refsnyder started in center field, went 0-for-3, was hit by a pitch, and scored the winning run in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder made his second start in the last three games, both against left-handers, and was one of many supporting players in the win. The leading player in the win was Rafael Devers, who drilled a two-run home run in the top of the eighth inning after Refsnyder was hit by a pitch. In the bottom half of the frame, Refsnyder fully extended to rob Ty France of extra bases. Refsnyder is up with Boston while Enrique Hernandez is sidelined by a hip injury. He's expected to start in center or right field against lefties.

Refsnyder was recalled by the Red Sox on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder was briefly with the team at the end of April, but he earned only six plate appearances prior to being demoted. He's likely to serve as outfield depth while Enrique Hernandez (hip) is sidelined. Refsnyder has maintained a .306 average with Triple-A Worcester this season, though he is a career .226 hitter at the big-league level.

Refsnyder was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder has been with the big-league club for the past 10 days and went 2-for-5 with two doubles, a walk and an RBI during his brief time in the majors. Jaylin Davis was promoted in a corresponding move for outfield depth.

The Red Sox selected Refsnyder's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder will give Boston another utility option off the bench after Jonathan Arauz was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list in a corresponding move. Though he's primarily played center field at Triple-A this season, Refsnyder possesses ample experience at second base, where Arauz had made all three of his starts for Boston in 2022.

The Red Sox will reassign Refsnyder to Triple-A Worcester on Monday after he didn't make Boston's Opening Day roster, Chad Jennings of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Updating an erroneous report earlier indicating that Refsnyder made the Opening Day roster, he'll instead head to the minors to begin the 2022 campaign. The versatile 31-year-old will likely be on the radar for a potential call-up at some point in the coming months after nearly making Boston's roster out of spring training.

Refsnyder has made the Red Sox Opening Day roster, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports,

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder signed a minor-league deal with a spring training invite in November, batting .185 with three extra-base hits, four runs and two RBI while striking out 11 times over 27 at-bats. Refsnyder produced a slash of .245/.325/.338 with nine extra-base hits and 21 runs in 51 games with the Twins in 2021. The 31-year-old will likely operate as a depth option in the outfield, drawing only the occasional spot start.

Refsnyder is starting Thursday's Grapefruit League opener against the Twins, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Refsnyder missed the end of the 2021 campaign with a right elbow impingement, but he'll start in left field and bat fourth in Thursday's spring game. He should have a chance to compete for a depth role with the Red Sox as a non-roster invitee during camp.
