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.

ANALYSIS
Refsnyder suffered the injury when he was hit by pitch during Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals and could be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks, per Sean McAdam of MassLive.com. If there's a silver lining, Refsnyder's absence could make it easier for the Red Sox to carry Ceddanne Rafaela on the Opening Day roster.

Stat Review
How does Rob Refsnyder compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

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.
