2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Signed to extension
The Red Sox signed Refsnyder to a $1.85 million, one-year extension with a $2 million club option for 2025 on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Red Sox have grown to trust Refsnyder, who has filled various outfield roles for Boston in one-plus seasons with the organization. He'll start in center field and bat fifth for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rays.

Refsnyder spent the spring in camp with the Indians but was designated for assignment after failing to make their major-league roster. The Rays claimed him and gave Refsnyder an Opening Day roster spot. After slashing an anemic .167/.314/.274, Refsynder was again designated and sent to Triple-A Durham after clearing waivers. He posted a more productive .283/.357/.402 line for the Bulls but wasn't called back to the majors when rosters expanded. Refsnyder signed a minor-league contact with the Diamondbacks that includes an invitation to spring training, hoping his ability to play both corner outfield spots and all around the infield warrants a return to the majors.
