The Red Sox have received some good news in the injury department as Brandon Workman, who visited Dr. James Andrews (a renowned surgeon) on Wednesday, was facing Tommy John Surgery, which would have sidelined him for the rest of the season. Though he did avoid the season-ending surgery, though, receiving a plasma-rich platelet (PRP) injection to his throwing elbow, he will still miss much of the season and the Red Sox have set no timetable for his return.
Workman, who went 1-10 with a 5.17 ERA in 19 appearances (15 starts) last season, was going to transition to a full-time relief role this year.
