Workman cleared waivers Wednesday and was returned to the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since being selected by the Cubs in the Rule 5 Draft this offseason, Workman has slashed .188/.235/.250 in the majors and has been cast off the active rosters of both Chicago clubs. He'll now return to his original organization without a spot on the 40-man roster and will presumably report to Triple-A Toledo to serve as organizational depth.

The White Sox activated Workman (hip) from the 10-day injured list Monday and designated him for assignment.

EDGE Analysis

Workman is over the hip injury that sent him to the IL after just one game for the White Sox, but the team has decided they don't have room for him on the 26-man active roster or 40-man roster. The Rule 5 pick has now been designated for assignment by both Chicago franchises and will be available via waivers again. If he clears waivers, he must be offered back to the Tigers for $50,000.

Workman (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Workman had made just one start for the White Sox before going down with a right hip flexor strain earlier this month. However, he has been cleared for games again and could be activated close to when he's first eligible Sunday.

The White Sox placed Workman on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right hip flexor strain.

EDGE Analysis

Workman was evidently injured during his first start with the White Sox on Wednesday. It's not clear at this point how long the rookie infielder might be sidelined.

Workman was traded from the Cubs to the White Sox on Saturday in exchange for cash.

EDGE Analysis

The move was done prior to Saturday's game, so it's possible Workman will be available. Nick Maton was designated for assignment to make room on the roster. The Cubs plucked Workman from the Tigers in this year's Rule 5 draft, but he was barely playing (15 plate appearances) and had a 40 percent strikeout rate. Workman, who is a good defensive infielder and can handle multiple spots, should work in a utility infielder role for the White Sox.

The Cubs designated Workman for assignment Wednesday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Workman had some defensive lapses and went just 3-for-14 at the plate in nine games for the Cubs this season. The Rule 5 pick will be available via trade or a waiver claim, but if no other teams are willing to dedicate an active roster spot to him, he must be offered back to the Tigers for $50,000.

Workman went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 16-0 win over the Dodgers. He also stole a base.

EDGE Analysis

Workman didn't enter the contest until the sixth inning, but he still managed to rattle off two hits, which were his first at the MLB level. The 25-year-old also recorded his first MLB stolen base and RBI. Workman isn't seeing consistent playing time as a utility option for the Cubs, so he's mostly off the fantasy radar for now, but an injury to a Chicago starter could give him an opportunity to better showcase his abilities.

Workman will start at third base and will bat ninth in Monday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

With Matt Shaw getting a day off, Workman will enter the lineup for just the second time in 13 games this season. A Rule 5 selection, Workman would have to be offered back to the Tigers if the Cubs aren't willing to keep him on the big-league roster all season. The Cubs remain intrigued by his long-term upside, but Workman is unlikely to see many opportunities in the infield unless one or two of Shaw, Nico Hoerner or Dansby Swanson misses extended time.

Workman could stay on the MLB roster once Nico Hoerner (forearm) returns, with Vidal Brujan losing his spot instead, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Workman made Chicago's roster for its two-game set in Tokyo last week, and the Rule 5 draft may be the favorite to stick around once Hoerner is back, which could be in time for the domestic opener later this week or soon after. In that scenario, Brujan would be designated for assignment, as he is out of minor-league options. If the Cubs prefer to keep Brujan and dump Workman, the latter would have to be returned to Detroit.

Workman will travel with the Cubs for their two-game series against the Dodgers in Tokyo on March 18 and 19, Jesse Friedman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Nico Hoerner (forearm) not making the trip, Chicago is filling out its infield depth to start the regular season with Workman and Vidal Brujan, along with veteran utility player Jon Berti. Hoerner's eventual return will complicate things, but with Workman joining the Cubs as a Rule 5 pick, he may end up sticking around in an MLB bench role unless the team is willing to lose him. The 25-year-old impressed during spring training with a 1.201 OPS, three home runs and 13 RBI across 15 games.
