Workman was released by the Rangers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Workman joined the team as a non-roster invitee but failed to win a roster spot. As a 32-year-old with a 5.66 ERA over the last two seasons, he's unlikely to find any major-league offers on the open market.

The Rangers reassigned Workman to minor-league camp Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Though he's only three years removed from saving 16 games and posting a 1.88 ERA in 71.2 innings with the Red Sox, Workman's career appears to be headed on a downward spiral. Now with his fourth organization since that career-best 2019 season, Workman was forced to settle for a minor-league deal over the winter and didn't distinguish himself in spring training to make a case for a spot in the Rangers' Opening Day bullpen. He'll likely begin the season in the bullpen at Triple-A Round Rock.

Workman signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Workman elected free agency in early August after spending time with the Cubs and Red Sox in 2021. He made 29 relief appearances between the two clubs and posted a 5.46 ERA and 2.04 WHIP in 28 innings. The 33-year-old should serve as a non-roster invitee this spring, and he'll likely be in the mix for a low-leverage role in the Rangers' bullpen during the 2022 campaign.

The Red Sox released Workman on Sunday after he elected free agency.

EDGE Analysis

Rather than accepting an assignment to Triple-A Worcester after he went unclaimed off waivers, Workman will head to the open market and hope to land a minor-league deal with another organization. Over 29 relief appearances between the Red Sox and Cubs this season, Workman has posted a 5.46 ERA and 2.04 WHIP across 28 innings.

Workman was designated for assignment Thursday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Workman has pitched for both the Cubs and Red Sox this season but has struggled to a 5.46 ERA across 28 innings. The move created roster space for the Kyle Schwarber (hamstring), who was acquired by the Red Sox prior to the trade deadline.

Workman (1-2) gave up a run on two hits and a walk in one inning, but he earned the win Sunday versus the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Workman became the pitcher of record when the Red Sox posted a five-run rally in the bottom of the eighth, and Matt Barnes was able to convert the save. The 32-year-old Workman has amassed a 4.68 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 23:21 K:BB across 25 innings between the Red Sox and the Cubs this season. He's added four holds, but he hasn't seen a lot of high-leverage work.

Workman allowed one run on one hit and struck out two in the ninth inning during Thursday's 5-1 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Workman served up Yuli Gurriel's ninth-inning home run while making his season debut for Boston. He was set to exercise an opt-out clause in his contract, but the Red Sox purchased Workman's contract and placed him on the active roster. The 32-year-old Workman, who began his career in Boston, was once a key member of the Red Sox's bullpen. The Red Sox could use an additional consistent arm for late-inning work, but Workman is expected to serve in low-leverage roles for now, as he did Thursday.

Workman's contract was selected from Triple-A Worcester prior to Thursday's game in Houston, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old righty logged a 1.29 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 10 strikeouts in seven innings over seven appearances at Triple-A. He will occupy a middle-relief role for Boston going forward.

Workman triggered the opt-out in his minor-league Red Sox contract Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox have 48 hours to promote or release the veteran reliever. The latter seems most likely, as Workman has struggled mightily since leaving Boston at the 2020 trade deadline and the team is awaiting the return of reliever Ryan Brasier (calf), who's about ready to begin a rehab assignment.

Workman signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Workman was released by the Cubs on Friday, but he'll now return to the Red Sox organization. The right-hander has been assigned to Triple-A Worcester, but he could be a candidate to return to the major-league bullpen at some point this year. Workman made 10 relief appearances for the Cubs to begin the season and posted a 6.75 ERA and 2.38 WHIP in eight innings.
