Rob Refsnyder Making second straight start
Refsnyder will start in left field for a second straight game Sunday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis: Refsnyder started in left field Saturday while Masataka Yoshida served as the designated hitter, but the latter was removed from the game after getting hit by a pitch on the leg. X-rays came back negative, but Yoshida is being held out of Sunday's lineup, enabling Refsnyder to get into the lineup again. Refsnyder had a couple of hits, including a double, a walk and a stolen base (his fifth) Saturday.
