Brandon Workman: Reaches open market

The Red Sox released Workman on Sunday after he elected free agency.

Rather than accepting an assignment to Triple-A Worcester after he went unclaimed off waivers, Workman will head to the open market and hope to land a minor-league deal with another organization. Over 29 relief appearances between the Red Sox and Cubs this season, Workman has posted a 5.46 ERA and 2.04 WHIP across 28 innings.
