ROB REFSNYDER NEWS

Free of restrictions in camp Refsnyder (forearm) took live batting practice against Red Sox right-hander Zack Kelly during Wednesday's full-squad workout, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Refsnyder slugged a home run to right-center as part of his round of BP, an indication that he's moved past the right forearm strain that caused him to finish the past season on the injured list. Before being shut down, Refsnyder was productive at the dish when called upon, slashing .283/.359/.471 with 11 home runs and two stolen bases over 306 plate appearances. The right-handed-hitting Refsnyder should get regular playing time versus left-handed pitching in 2025, most likely occupying the weak side of platoon in right field with Wilyer Abreu (illness).

Red Sox exercise Rob Refsnyder's option, keeping outfielder around for 2025 - The Boston Globe Refsnyder will return to Boston for a fourth season on a $2.1 million club option.

2025 option exercised The Red Sox exercised Refsnyder's $2 million club option for 2025.

Impact Refsnyder was a useful platoon bat for the Red Sox again in 2024, slashing .283/.359/.471 with 11 homers over 93 games, which included a .941 OPS versus left-handed pitching. Boston currently projects to be very left-handed heavy again in 2025, so Refsnyder should be busy again as a short-side platoon outfielder.

Lands on injured list The Red Sox placed Refsnyder on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right forearm strain, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact 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. Now, the 33-year-old outfielder will officially land on the injured list, putting an early end to his 2024 campaign. He'll conclude the season with a solid .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.

Rob Refsnyder's sliding catch in left | 09/03/2024 Rob Refsnyder ends the 4th inning with a great sliding catch in left field

SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 • MLB.COM

Heading back to bench Refsnyder is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Impact 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.

AUGUST 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes deep in loss Refsnyder went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact 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 following the All-Star break, hitting .273/.317/.506 over his last 23 games. Refsnyder has five of his nine home runs this season over his last 19 games and should continue to receive regular at-bats in the middle of the Red Sox's order.
