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.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.
Botard said it’s a chance to work with Bowie Athletic Director Tyler Price once again. Price was Botard’s assistant when he coached at Nocona.
“I wanted to get back into the area,” Botard said. “It’s a good community.”
Botard graduated high school in 1995 from Del Valle High School, outside Austin, and went to Texas Tech. He started his coaching career in Lubbock followed by returning to his alma mater where he was an assistant for his high school coach.
