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.
