EDGE Analysis

Over 11 appearances with the team, Workman has allowed eight earned runs and 18 hits over 10.1 innings while posting a troublesome 11:8 K:BB.

EDGE Analysis

Since joining the Phillies on Aug. 21, Workman has successfully converted five of seven save chances while surrendering five earned runs and issuing a concerning eight walks in 10.1 innings. That might be enough to allow him to cling to the closer role, but not without considerable risk.

It was hardly an proficient performance as he delivered only nine of his 19 pitches for strikes, but the right-hander was able to keep the Braves off the board all the same.

EDGE Analysis

Philadelphia's newest late-inning arm fit right in with the rest of the team's combustible bullpen in his first appearance since coming over from the Red Sox. Hector Neris started the eighth inning protecting a 4-2 lead but immediately gave up three straight hits and a run before recording an out. Workman then got the call to replace him and gave up a two-run double to Matt Adams on his first pitch to blow the save. The Phillies rallied in the top of the ninth to tie things up, but the right-hander then finished the implosion with a messy bottom of the frame that saw him load the bases before Adam Duvall delivered a walkoff single. It's not clear whether manager Joe Girardi will turn to Neris or Workman in the next save situation, but the former Boston closer could hardly have made a worse first impression on his new skipper.

Workman was traded from the Red Sox to the Phillies on Friday in exchange for Nick Pivetta and Connor Seabold.

EDGE Analysis

While Workman should play a fairly prominent role in the Phillies' bullpen, his fantasy value could take a hit since Hector Neris has been the closer in Philadelphia. Workman made seven relief appearances for the Red Sox this season, posting a 4.05 ERA and 1.80 WHIP over 6.2 innings while converting on each of his four save chances. Neris has struggled recently, which could open the door for Workman to compete for save chances in Philadelphia. Matt Barnes could be the favorite for save chances with the Red Sox in the near future.
