Rob Refsnyder - Starting again Friday Refsnyder is starting again in left field and batting third for the Red Sox on Friday versus the Angels.
Masataka Yoshida - Held out again Friday Yoshida (hamstring) remains out of the Red Sox' lineup for Friday's game versus the Angels.
Impact The team had expressed hope Yoshida would be ready to go Friday at the beginning of a homestand, but they've opted to give him at least one more day. Yoshida hasn't played since Tuesday because of a tight right hamstring. Rob Refsnyder is getting another start in left field.

Yonny Chirinos - Recalled by TB Chirinos was recalled by the Rays on Friday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
Impact With Jeffrey Springs (arm) almost certainly headed for the injured list, Chirinos will help fill in the gap in Tampa Bay's rotation. The 29-year-old righty didn't get off to the greatest start in Triple-A, allowing seven earned runs over 7.1 frames across two appearances. Braden Bristo was optioned to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move.

Braden Bristo - Optioned to Triple-A Bristo was optioned to Triple-A Durham by the Rays on Friday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact Bristo picked up a three-inning save in his major-league debut Thursday versus the Red Sox, not yielding a hit and fanning four along the way. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't going to be available for a few days after throwing 42 pitches, hence the demotion. Bristo put himself in a good spot to earn another look down the line, though.
