Brandon Workman News
The Texas Rangers have released outfielder Jake Marisnick and relief pitcher Brandon Workman. Both players had signed minor league contracts with the club this offseason. The 31-year-old Marisnick spent the 2021 season with the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres. He had a rough spring with the Rangers, going just 4-for-25 over 10 games. Workman, meanwhile, only pitched two innings this spring. He allowed three hits and two earned runs, but he also recorded a save and struck out three batters. The 33-year-old pitched for the Boston Red Sox and the Cubs last year, but didn't have much success with either club.
The Texas Rangers signed right-handed free-agent pitcher Brandon Workman to a minor league deal on Friday. Workman pitched for both the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs last year, posting a 5.46 ERA, 2.04 WHIP, 25 strikeouts and 21 walks in 28 innings over 29 relief appearances. If the 33-year-old does win a spot in Texas' Opening Day bullpen, he'll be a low-leverage arm and won't be valuable in any fantasy leagues. Workman has a career 4.02 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 343 strikeouts and 157 walks in 329 innings over 238 appearances (18 starts) in seven major league seasons with the Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies and Cubs.
The Boston Red Sox have called up relief pitcher Brandon Workman from Triple-A prior to their game against the Houston Astros on Thursday. Fellow reliever Colten Brewer was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Workman was DFA'd by the Chicago Cubs earlier this year after posting a 6.75 ERA over 10 appearances. He signed a minor league deal with the Red Sox and went on to make seven appearances at Triple-A, posting a 1.29 ERA and 1.00 WHIP while striking out 10 batters. He opted out of his minor league contract on Tuesday, forcing the Red Sox to decide whether to promote him or release him and they went with the former option.
