Rob Refsnyder - Page 16 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Out with elbow injury Refsnyder was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right elbow impingement, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

Impact The severity of the injury is not yet clear, though Refsnyder doesn't have much time to return before the end of the year, as he won't be eligible to return until the final week of the season even if he misses just the minimum 10 days. Drew Maggiwas called up to fill Refsnyder's place on the roster.

Sitting Wednesday Refsnyder is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Cleveland.

Impact After a stretch of three straight starts in which he went 1-for-9 with a double and a run scored, Refsnyder will give way to Jake Cave in left field for the series finale. Brent Rooker (personal) is expected to return from the paternity list this weekend in Toronto and take back primary duties in left field, so Refsnyder's window for steady playing time looks to have closed.

Replaces Brent Rooker in outfield Refsnyder will start in left field and bat seventh Monday against the Yankees.

Impact After going 1-for-4 with a run in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Royals while filling in for a resting Max Kepler in right field, Refsnyder will shift over to the other corner-outfield spot to replace Brent Rooker (personal), who was moved to the paternity list Sunday. Rooker should be on track to take back a near-everyday role in left once he returns by the middle of the week, so Refsnyder looks like he'll be in store for only a short-term bump in playing time.

Filling in for Max Kepler Refsnyder will start in right field and bat third Monday against Cleveland.

Impact Refsnyder will pick up his second start in three games, this time filling in for Max Kepler in right field. The lefty-hitting Kepler should be a fixture in the lineup versus right-handed pitching, but Refsnyder could still contend for a regular role in left field, which remains unsettled. Manager Rocco Baldelli will hand Brent Rooker the start in left in Monday's game, making Rooker the fourth different player in as many days to cover the position.

Returns to bench Refsnyder is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Refsnyder will retreat to the bench after he started in left field in both of the Twins' last two games versus the Yankees this weekend, going 1-for-8 between those contests. Brent Rooker will be back in the lineup Tuesday, but Refsnyder looks to be encroaching on his role as the Twins' top option in left field.

On base four times Refsnyder went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs, two walks and a strikeout in a 5-3 triumph over the Astros on Thursday.

Impact Refsnyder singled and scored in the first as part of a four-run inning, walked in the sixth, doubled and scored in the eighth and walked in the ninth to reach base four times for the second time this season. The utility man has enjoyed a successful 2021 campaign solely in the outfield with a .339/.403/.525 slash line, albeit in only 19 games and 67 plate appearances.
