The Boston Red Sox scratched right fielder Rob Refsnyder because of right wrist discomfort Thursday night, shortly before the start of a four-game series against the host New York Yankees.

Refsnyder was batting third in Boston's original lineup before he was scratched about 45 minutes before first pitch. Wilyer Abreu replaced Refsnyder in right field and batted eighth while second baseman Romy Gonzalez moved up from fifth to third.

Refsnyder is hitting .284 with 11 homers and 40 RBIs in 91 games in his third season with the Red Sox, who signed him as a free agent following the 2021 season.
