Expert Note
View More NotesWorkman was never the guy for the Red Sox . . . until one day he just was. When he finally locked down the closer's role, he was fantastic, striking out batters at will and pitching to a 1.88 ERA. His WHIP hovered near 1.00 despite the fact that he walked more than 5.5 batters per nine innings, a feat which he's unlikely to duplicate. In short, while Workman will close for the Red Sox, he'll need to improve his control in order to hold the job for the whole year.

Red Sox interim manager Ron Roenicke says Brandon Workman will be the team's closer to begin the 2020 season.
Fantasy Impact
"I think with what he did last year, he deserves that shot to be the closer," were his exact words. The 31-year-old pitched great last year, posting a 1.88 ERA with 104 strikeouts in 71 2/3 innings. He isn't considered an elite fantasy option due to his limited track record but Workman could easily wind up with 30+ saves this year.
