WORKMAN WATCH: Workman will start throwing program soon
Boston Red Sox pitcher Brandon Workman will begin a throwing program soon, so said manager John Farrell to WEEI.com.
Last week, Workman visited Dr. James Andrews and Andrews determined Brandon didn’t need surgery at this time.
Workman received a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection after the visiting with Andrews.
He’s expected to remain in Boston, and begin rehabilitation.
“He’ll remain here,” Farrell said to Ryan Hannable from WEEI.com. “He’s still probably two or three weeks away from initiating any type of throwing program. But that is why he received the injection he did.”
Farrell said the expectation is Workman will pitch again at some point this season.
Originally, Workman was sent down to Triple-A, and he was scheduled to work out of the bullpen for the Pawtucket Paw Sox in Rhode Island.
However, Workman’s option has since been reversed because the injury occurred while he was still a Red Sox. He remains on the disabled list.
Workman finished spring training with a 6.43 earned-run average in seven innings pitched during spring training. He suffered right elbow strain after his last appearance in early April against the Minnesota Twins.
Workman, a former standout at Bowie High School, is not the first Red Sox player to receive a PRP injection.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.
Trinadee Imotichey is trying to do just that with her Forestburg Lady Longhorns.
Imotichey, an assistant coach on the 2025 Forestburg volleyball team, was moved into the head coaching position. Last year’s coach, Cori Hayes, took over as football head coach.
Imotichey, in her 2nd year in Forestburg, said she learned a lot from Hayes and is ready to take over.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.
The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.
Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.
Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.
Sage Keck, an 8th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.
She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.
Her success continued, as she finished 2nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
