2025 Fantasy Outlook
It was not surprising to see Refsnyder hit lefties, as he had raked on the short side of platoons hitting .321 against southpaws from 2021 to 2023 in nearly 300 plate appearances. What was surprising was witnessing Refsnyder hit as many homers in 307 plate appearances in 2024 as he had over the entirety of 2018 to 2023. The part-time outfielder had one homer in 145 plate appearances against lefties in 2023 but hit eight in the exact same number of plate appearances against lefties in 2024 by lofting the ball against them at a career-best rate. He had the exact opposite luck against righties, where he did hit .267, but his ground-ball to fly-ball rate was nearly double what it was against lefties. Career years at 33 years old are rare, and are even less frequently repeated. Boston liked what they saw enough to exercise his 2025 club option as he makes the perfect partner for Wilyer Abreu in an outfield platoon. Ideally, Refsnyder remains in a short-side platoon, but that also severely limits his fantasy viability in 2025. In short, 2024 was a fun surprise, but it isn't happening again. Read Past Outlooks

Homers off lefty
Refsnyder started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Refsnyder has been dealing with back issues over the past week but was feeling good enough to fill his usual role against a lefty Friday. He took Atlanta's Chris Sale deep in the seventh inning to bring the Red Sox within a run -- his third homer in 15 games. Refsnyder has a 1.002 OPS against lefties this season.

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
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.

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.
