Workman will begin spring training as a reliever, WEEI.com reports. This was widely expected after Workman struggled to a 1-10 record and a 5.17 ERA in 19 appearances (15 starts) for Boston last season, but manager John Farrell confirmed that the right-hander will indeed work out of the bullpen to begin the spring. Workman didn't fare much better while working primarily in a relief role in 2013, posting a 4.97 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over 41.2 innings.
