Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Rob Refsnyder, 35-year-old veteran right-handed bat signed by the Seattle Mariners to provide depth against left-handed pitching, is struggling significantly in 2026. He was held out of the lineup on May 6 against Braves LHP Martín Pérez despite being a specialist against southpaws, with manager Dan Wilson citing "minor ailments" and day-to-day status. Through mid-May, Refsnyder is hitting .132 with a .213 OBP, .245 SLG, and .458 OPS in 53 at-bats with only 2 home runs and 4 RBIs against 16 strikeouts. The fit with the Mariners appears problematic, with every plate appearance feeling like an audition to stay on the roster. He has not played in the field since April 27 and has been limited to bench duty.
