Player Outlook
In his third year at Double-A, Gage Workman finally put things together and was rewarded by being chosen in the Rule 5 draft by the Cubs. The former Tiger farmhand is a good defender at third base and can handle second base and shortstop as well. Workman slashed .280/.366/.476 with 18 home runs, 30 steals and a 27.5 percent strikeout rate in 126 games at Double-A, but it's worth noting that Workman had logged 183 games at Double-A prior to 2024. He's heading into his age-25 season and has zero experience above Double-A, so he'll likely play sparingly for as long as the Cubs stash him in the majors. He'll likely hit for a very low batting average if/when he plays in the big leagues this season.

  • Cubs' Gage Workman: Headed to Tokyo with big club

    Rotowire
    Workman will travel with the Cubs for their two-game series against the Dodgers in Tokyo on March 18 and 19, Jesse Friedman of MLB.com reports. With Nico Hoerner (forearm) not making the trip, Chicago is filling out its infield depth to start the regular season with Workman and Vidal Brujan, along with veteran utility player Jon Berti. Hoerner's eventual return will complicate things, but with Workman joining the Cubs as a Rule 5 pick, he may end up sticking around in an MLB bench role unless the team is willing to lose him. The 25-year-old impressed during spring training with a 1.201 OPS, three home runs and 13 RBI across 15 games.

  • Cubs' Gage Workman: Could make team out of camp

    Rotowire
    Workman, who was selected in the Rule 5 draft back in December, could make the Opening Day roster in a bench infielder role, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports. Workman, whom the Cubs poached from Detroit, has never appeared above the Double-A level, but the Cubs have to keep the Rule 5 pick in the majors all season if they want to retain him. While many Rule 5 picks get returned to their original team before Opening Day, it sounds like Workman's got a real shot to break camp with the Cubs. If Nico Hoerner (elbow) isn't tracking towards being ready for the start of the season, that would give Workman an even better chance of making the team.

  • Cubs' Gage Workman: Selected in Rule 5 draft

    Rotowire
    The Cubs selected Workman with the 10th pick in the Rule 5 draft Wednesday, JJ Cooper of Baseball America reports. This is the portion of the draft where players selected are somewhat likely to be returned to their original team rather than stashed in the majors all season, and that may end up being the case with Workman. He is a good defender at third base and can handle second base and shortstop as well. Workman slashed .280/.366/.476 with 18 home runs, 30 steals and a 27.5 percent strikeout rate in 126 games at Double-A, but it's worth noting that Workman had logged 183 games at Double-A prior to 2024. He's heading into his age-25 season and has zero experience above Double-A, so he'll likely play sparingly for as long as the Cubs stash him in the majors.

  • Tigers' Gage Workman: Moves up to High-A

    Rotowire
    The Tigers promoted Workman from Low-A Lakeland to High-A West Michigan on Tuesday, Emily Waldon of The Athletic reports. Workman will swap affiliates with fellow middle-infield prospect Trei Cruz, who was demoted from West Michigan to Lakeland in a corresponding move. A 2020 fourth-round pick, Workman earned a promotion to High-A after slashing .256/.357/.426 with 23 extra-base hits (16 doubles, four triples and three home runs) while going 22-for-25 on stolen-base attempts.
