Red Sox's Rob Refsnyder: Shut down with oblique strain

The Red Sox placed Refsnyder on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left oblique strain.

It's not clear when Refsnyder was injured, but he hadn't played since making a pinch-hitting appearance last Wednesday. He will be eligible for activation Aug. 26, but any oblique injury has the potential to create longer than a minimum stay on the IL.
