Workman pitched a scoreless seventh inning in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Workman has not allowed a run over his last 12 appearances, spanning 14.1 innings. Red Sox manager John Farrell has a slew of arms he's deployed in the seventh and eighth innings, but Workman's been the most consistent of the lot. With both Joe Kelly (5 R, 7 H, 2.1 IP) and Matt Barnes (3 R, 7 H, 4 IP) wobbly of late, Workman will get more high-leverage opportunities than he has been getting.

Workman fired a scoreless 1.1 innings in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
It doesn't get more low-leverage than Saturday's appearance -- Boston was leading, 10-3, with two outs in the seventh inning when Workman entered to retire Aaron Judge -- but the right-hander has authored a string of effective performances, both high- and low-leverage, since late July. Workman extended his scoreless streak to nine games (10.1 innings), striking out nine without walking a batter during that stretch. It's taken a couple of full seasons for Workman to recover from Tommy John elbow surgery, but that recovery is starting bear fruit over the final months of the 2017 season.

Workman worked around two hits to record a scoreless 1.1 innings to finish off Monday's 6-2 win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Workman was quietly worked his way into a trusted bullpen role since his callup a couple of weeks ago. He's allowed two runs and struck out 11 over 12 innings in nine appearances. Boston added reliever Addison Reed on Monday to be the primary eighth-inning bridge, but Workman's encouraging performance since being called up has thrown him into the late-inning mix.

Workman was called up from Triple-A Pawtucket on Saturday, following Joe Kelly's placement on the disabled list with a strained hamstring, Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Workman was originally slated to be the 26th man for Sunday's doubleheader, but will make the journey to Boston one day earlier due to Kelly's injury. The right-hander has been lights out in Pawtucket this season, posting a 1.55 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP over the course of 29 innings. With three games coming up over the weekend, Workman will likely find himself on the mound at some point against the Yankees.

Workman will rejoin the Red Sox as the 26th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Workman has made two appearances with the Red Sox this season, allowing two earned runs off eight hits over the course of 5.1 innings. He's been able to get hitters out on a consistent basis while pitching at Triple-A Pawtucket, and could get his number called upon during the doubleheader, especially if one of Boston's starters is forced to exit early.

Workman was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
With Brian Johnson coming up for the start against Detroit on Friday, Workman was sent back down to Triple-A in order to create a spot for the southpaw. Johnson saw action in Thursday's series finale versus the Yankees, giving up two earned runs off three hits while striking out two in 2.1 innings of work.

Workman was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday, Evan Drellich of CSN New England reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eduardo Rodriguez injured his knee during warmups Thursday, and although he ultimately pitched in the following contest, he struggled mightily and now will require a DL stint. This opens up a spot for Workman to head to Boston, who has been outstanding out of Pawtucket's bullpen. He'll likely fill a long-relief role for the Red Sox while Rodriguez is sidelined.

Workman was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket on Sunday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Workman was sent down to make room for David Price (elbow), who will make his season debut Monday against the White Sox. He didn't see any action with the big club since being called up on May 21 and will return to Pawtucket, where he's compiled a 1.98 ERA with 17 strikeouts in 13.2 innings this season.

Workman was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Workman has spent the majority of the 2017 season in Triple-A, sporting a solid 1.98 ERA and 32.1 percent strikeout rate. His performance has earned him a return trip to the big-league club, as he will work in the back-end of their bullpen moving forward. Noe Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A to open up a roster spot.

Workman was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was a milestone evening for Workman, who tossed three scoreless innings in what was his first major-league outing since 2014. Despite the effective performance, he'll head back to Triple-A Pawtucket to serve as organizational pitching depth.
