Workman (elbow, oblique) is now with Double-A Portland, Kevin Thomas of the Portland Press Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Workman has been working his way back from Tommy John elbow surgery, but suffered a setback when he hurt his oblique. He's now ready to throw in live games and was scheduled to pitch Tuesday night for the Sea Dogs, but the game was postponed due to rain. He's expected to pitch Wednesday. While the Red Sox could use some help in the bullpen, it's unlikely that Workman gets to a point where he can play a pivotal role for Boston as they make a run for the postseason.
