Workman (elbow) is making some mechanical adjustments and will not join Short Season Lowell at the start of its season next week, the Providence Journal reports. "There's some mechanical adjustments he's going through. So until those are solidified, that's when we're going to get him out," manager John Farrell said. "He's gone through a pretty extensive throwing program. He's back in games, multiple innings in games, but we've got some work to do before we send him out."

EDGE Analysis

Workman is coming back from Tommy John surgery and has been pitching in Fort Myers. At the moment, the Red Sox are using him as a starter, giving him multiple innings in order to build up arm strength, but he's expected to pitch out of the bullpen when he is ready to join Boston.
