2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Red Sox are pleased with Refsnyder as a depth outfielder that hits lefties well (.828 OPS in 2023) and inked him to a deal for the 2024 season. For the first time in his career, Refsnyder will not have to enter the offseason seeking a minor-league contract with yet another organization - Boston is the sixth stop. The trade of Alex Verdugo to the Yankees, along with Adam Duvall hitting free agency, means Boston's outfield has a different look. Tyler O'Neill, acquired during the winter meetings, is expected to take over in right field with Masataka Yoshida in left and one of a group that includes Wilyer Abreu, Jarren Duran and Cedanne Rafaela in center. It's unlikely that Refsnyder, who had a career-high 242 plate appearances in 2023, will be anything more than a fourth outfielder or the short side of a platoon, and both the player and team are happy with that.

Returns from IL
The Red Sox reinstated Refsnyder (toe) from the 10-day injured list Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Refsnyder isn't included in the lineup for Thursday's series finale with the Guardians, but he should see regular playing time versus left-handed pitching as a possible platoon mate for the lefty-hitting Wilyer Abreu in the corner outfield. The 33-year-old also made a start at first base during his four-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester, making him a possible option at that position if Triston Casas should need a day off. Refsnyder, who missed the first three weeks of the season with a fractured left pinkie toe, produced a .682 OPS in 242 plate appearances for Boston in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see time at first base
Manager Alex Cora said Monday that Refsnyder, who is on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester as he returns from a toe fracture, will be reintroduced to playing first base, per Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald.
ANALYSIS
The veteran outfielder has 36 appearances at first base during his big-league career, the most recent of which came in 2020 with the Rangers. Refsnyder fits in as Boston's No. 4 outfielder and should get occasional starts against left-handing pitching, and the positional versatility should help his push for playing time. However, Tristan Casas should be locked in nearly every day at first base, so the versatility is unlikely to affect Refsnyder's fantasy outlook.

2015
Refsnyder joined the Red Sox on a minor-league contract for 2022, but he was on the big-league roster from mid-June through the end of the season (though he also dealt with a couple injuries). He did his best work against left-handed pitching with a 1.005 OPS, but he also fared well against righties (.270/.365/.427). Sample size is an obvious concern since he played in just 57 games (one short of his career high), but Refsnyder showed he's at the very least a viable candidate as a short-side platoon option. The signing of Masataka Yoshida solidifies Boston's primary outfield alongside Enrique Hernandez and Alex Verdugo, but Refsnyder should still receive some chances as the No. 4 outfielder, especially against southpaws since both Yoshida and Verdugo are left-handed bats.
