Player Outlook
The Red Sox are pleased with Rob Refsnyder as a depth outfielder that hits lefties well (.828 OPS in 2023) and inked him to a deal for the 2024 season. For the first time in his career, Refsnyder will not have to enter the offseason seeking a minor-league contract with yet another organization - Boston is the sixth stop. The trade of Alex Verdugo to the Yankees, along with Adam Duvall hitting free agency, means Boston's outfield has a different look. Tyler O'Neill, acquired during the winter meetings, is expected to take over in right field with Masataka Yoshida in left and one of a group that includes Wilyer Abreu, Jarren Duran and Cedanne Rafaela in center. It's unlikely that Refsnyder, who had a career-high 242 plate appearances in 2023, will be anything more than a fourth outfielder or the short side of a platoon, and both the player and team are happy with that.

  • Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Enters as pinch hitter

    Refsnyder entered Thursday's game as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-1 in a 5-4 loss to Cleveland. Refsnyder pinch hit for second baseman Enmanuel Valdez and stayed in the game to play left field. It was the season debut for Refsnyder, who opened the year on the 10-day injured list due to a toe injury. He was activated to take the roster spot of Tyler O'Neill, who landed on the 7-day concussion list. Refsnyder will likely be in the starting nine whenever the Red Sox face a left-hander.

  • Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Returns from IL

    The Red Sox reinstated Refsnyder (toe) from the 10-day injured list Thursday. Refsnyder isn't included in the lineup for Thursday's series finale with the Guardians, but he should see regular playing time versus left-handed pitching as a possible platoon mate for the lefty-hitting Wilyer Abreu in the corner outfield. The 33-year-old also made a start at first base during his four-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester, making him a possible option at that position if Triston Casas should need a day off. Refsnyder, who missed the first three weeks of the season with a fractured left pinkie toe, produced a .682 OPS in 242 plate appearances for Boston in 2023.

  • Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Nearing return

    Refsnyder (toe) will play at least one more full rehab game with Triple-A Worcester before being activated from the injured list, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

  • Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Will see time at first base

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Refsnyder (toe) will play some first base upon his return from the 10-day injured list, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports. Refsnyder has some experience at the position, although he hasn't played at that spot since joining the Red Sox in 2022. With the Red Sox outfield crowded at the moment, Refsnyder will be reintroduced to first base, where he could see occasional action versus lefties. Refsnyder is on a minor-league rehab assignment while working his way back from a fractured left pinky toe and could be activated before long.

  • Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Hits shelf with fractured toe

    The Red Sox placed Refsnyder (toe) on the 10-day injured list Thursday. Refsnyder is likely to miss most or all of the first month of the season while he recovers from a fractured left pinkie toe.

  • Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Diagnosed with fractured toe

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

  • Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Exits after HBP on foot

    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. 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.

  • Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Collects two RBI in win

    Refsynder went 1-for-2 with two RBI in Boston's 7-6 Grapefruit League win over Philadelphia on Monday. Refsynder smashed an RBI single in the bottom of the first inning and hit a groundball 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.

  • Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Making second straight start

    Refsnyder will start in left field for a second straight game Sunday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. 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 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Refsnyder went 3-for-4 with one double, two RBI and one steal in Saturday's 4-3 loss to St. Louis. Refsnyder turned in a strong performance out of the three spot Saturday, driving in Pablo Reyes and Alex Verdugo on a fourth-inning double while grabbing a rare stolen base. in his last four years in the bigs (163 games), Refsnyder had stolen just two bags, making Saturday's swipe an outlier. After batting .307 in 177 plate appearances in 2022, Refsnyder is slashing .258/.361/.355 with one home run through 72 plate appearances this season.

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.

  • Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: In Monday's lineup

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

  • Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Starting again Friday

    Refsnyder is starting again in left field and batting third for the Red Sox on Friday versus the Angels. The 32-year-old popped a solo home run Thursday to earn a second straight start in place of the injured Masataka Yoshida (hamstring). Refsnyder will be going up against Patrick Sandoval.

  • Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Out of lineup vs. righty

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

  • Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Hitless in Florida

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