Mariners consider designating Rob Refsnyder for assignment amid struggles

Rob Refsnyder, signed by the Seattle Mariners to bolster their lineup against left-handed pitching, has failed to deliver. His performance has plunged, going 9-for-66 against lefties with 23 strikeouts and a.483 OPS. Analysts suggest he could be designated for assignment soon, potentially leading to his free agency. The Mariners are surprised by Refsnyder's decline, as he had been a strong performer in previous years. The team might need to seek other options to fill his role as he struggles to produce as expected.
