Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Friday that Refsnyder is dealing with right knee soreness, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Cora doesn't think the injury is serious, but Refsnyder hasn't been in the Red Sox lineup for two consecutive games, though it's unclear if that's due to entirely to the injury. With Wilyer Abreu (ankle) expected to rejoin the active roster Saturday and Masataka Yoshida healthy, Refsnyder's run of consistent playing time was set to come to an end anyway. Once he moves past the knee issue, Refsnyder is likely to see most of his starts against left-handed pitching.
