• Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Lands on injured list

  09/20/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Red Sox placed Refsnyder on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right forearm strain, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports. Refsnyder hasn't started a game since wrist discomfort caused him to be a late scratch from the lineup Sept. 12, though he was able to appear as a pinch hitter during Thursday's loss to Tampa Bay. The 33-year-old outfielder's placement on the injured list will put an early end to his 2024 campaign. He has a .283/.359/.471 slash line alongside 11 homers and 40 RBI across 306 plate appearances, and Vaughn Grissom will come up from the minors to fill his spot on the active roster.

  Refsnyder (wrist) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

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

  08/25/2024 • 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.
