MLB Rumors: Red Sox Sign Brandon Workman, Assign Him To Worcester

Welcome back, Workman!

Brandon Workman reportedly is back in town.

The Red Sox signed the relief pitcher to a minor-league deal and assigned him to Worcester, The Boston Globe’s Alex Speier and The Athletic’s Jen McCaffrey reported Thursday after Boston’s 12-9 win against the Detroit Tigers.

Workman was traded from the Red Sox to the Philadelphia Phillies in August 2020. He signed with the Chicago Cubs in the offseason and was designated for assignment in April.
