Brandon Workman

Brandon Workman, Kohei Arihara, Nick Tropeano, and Yohel Pozo (catcher) were all assigned to minor league camp, leaving 43 players on the active spring training roster for the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

While Texas has beefed up their offense, their pitching remains a puzzle to sort out. Workman, 33, is on a minor-league deal and has a high chance of being used in the bullpen at some point this season. It remains to be seen if Arihara and Tropeano find their way to Arlington. In any case, none of them need to be rostered for fantasy purposes at this point.

The Texas Rangers have signed RHP Brandon Workman to a minor-league contract.

Fantasy Impact

The 33-year old struggled last season, posting a 5.46 ERA and an 8.04 K/9 with the Cubs and Red Sox. He'll be given the chance to bounce back and could find himself in the big league bullpen at some point during the 2022 season.

Brandon Workman returned to the Red Sox on Thursday against Houston, allowing one run in one inning pitched.

Fantasy Impact

Fantasy Impact

Workman made ten appearances in 2021 with a 6.75 ERA in eight innings pitched. In 2019 and 2020, he recorded 25 saves in 34 appearances. He's not fantasy-relevant even in the deepest leagues quite yet.

Brandon Workman was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Workman was designated for assignment by the Cubs to make room for left-hander Justin Steele, who was recalled in a corresponding move. The 32-year-old owned an (0-2) record to go along with a 6.75 ERA, 2.38 ERA, and 11 strikeouts across eight innings before being sent down.
