  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Refsnyder (wrist) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees. Refsnyder was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Yankees due to right wrist discomfort, and he has been held out of the starting lineup for the entire four-game series. The Red Sox have a scheduled off day Monday, and the 33-year-old could return to action for Boston's upcoming three-game road series against Tampa Bay. Since the All-Star break, Refsnyder has slashed .267/.313/.505 with seven home runs and 19 RBI across 112 plate appearances.

While he rests, Wilyer Abreu will start in right field and bat eighth.

  Refsnyder went 4-for-4 with a two-run home run, a solo home run a double and a two-RBI single during Monday's 12-3 win over the Orioles.

• Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Heading back to bench

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Refsnyder is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. Refsnyder went 2-for-12 with a solo home run and an additional run while starting each of the Red Sox's last three games -- all against right-handed pitchers -- but he'll head back to the bench Sunday while righty Merrill Kelly takes the hill for Arizona. Tyler O'Neill (finger) is returning from a two-game absence and will take back his usual spot in left field, so Refsnyder's opportunities to play against right-handed pitching could be more limited moving forward while O'Neill, Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu form Boston's preferred outfield arrangement. Refsnyder should still be a regular part of the lineup versus left-handed pitching.

• Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Goes deep in loss

  27D ago • By RotoWire

  Refsnyder went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks. Refsnyder took Ryne Nelson deep in the sixth inning for his ninth homer of the season. The 33-year-old veteran has picked things up since the All-Star break, slashing .273/.317/.506 over his last 23 games. Refsnyder has hit five of his home runs since July 28, and with Tyler O'Neill (finger) managing another injury, he should continue to see a significant workload -- he's started seven of the last 10 games.
