Red Sox recalled RHP Brandon Workman from Triple-A Pawtucket. Workman made an impressive spot start last Tuesday against the Mariners and will join Boston's bullpen now that he's rested. The righty will pitch in mid-relief.

Red Sox optioned RHP Brandon Workman to Triple-A Pawtucket. This is just a temporary thing. Workman started Tuesday night against the Mariners and wasn't going to be available for at least four days. He will pitch out of the Boston bullpen when he is recalled this weekend. Jake Peavy has taken over his starting rotation spot.

Brandon Workman has been moved to the bullpen. Workman was brilliant in his start on Tuesday night against the Mariners, allowing just one run over six innings to earn the win. But the Red Sox acquired Jake Peavy at the trade deadline and need to open a rotation spot.

Brandon Workman allowed one run over six innings to earn the win in the Red Sox' win over the Mariners on Tuesday. It was Workman's first-ever major league win, and he earned it. The young right-hander struck out nine batters while giving up just six hits and a walk. He's now posted three straight quality starts dating back to July 14, compiling a 3.54 ERA in the process. For his efforts, the 24-year-old may be in line for a demotion -- with the arrival of Jake Peavy, Workman's spot in the rotation may be in jeopardy. Owners in AL-only leagues should pay attention to see how the rotation shakes out in the coming days.

Brandon Workman will have his next start pushed back following Thursday's rainout. Workman had been slated to start Saturday, but he'll now get that ball next Tuesday. That's assuming he's not needed in relief, as he'll be available out of the bullpen over the next few days.

Brandon Workman gave the Red Sox another solid effort Monday, yielding two runs in six innings in a loss to the Rays. Had Workman struggled tonight, he almost certainly would have been sent down for a fresh arm. That he was able to save the bullpen by throwing six quality innings gives him a chance to stick around as the fifth starter for a while longer. He's done well so far while filling in for Clay Buchholz.

Brandon Workman will start Monday against the Rays. With Jon Lester being pushed back, Workman will move up one day and start Monday. He had a no-hitter through six innings in his first major league start last week and could remain in the rotation until Clay Buchholz returns from the disabled list.

Brandon Workman will be recalled to make his first major league start against the Athletics on Sunday. The 24-year-old righty has pitched very well across two minor league levels this season, compiling a 3.21 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 108/30 K/BB ratio over 101 innings. He's worthy of a spot start in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues.

Red Sox manager John Farrell said that either Brandon Workman or Steven Wright will likely start on Sunday in Oakland. The Sox decided to send down Allen Webster after another disappointing start Tuesday, so they'll need someone for Sunday. Workman, who posted a 3.21 ERA and 108/30 K/BB ratio over 101 innings this season between Double- and Triple-A, is the more intriguing option.
