Boston Red Sox right-hander Brandon Workman’s Tommy John surgery took place seven long months ago and the former Bowie standout continues working his way back.
Workman is about to throw from a distance of 120 feet with some flat-ground sessions this week, according to Comcast Sports Network’s Sean McAdam.
During the next month, it’s reported Workman will progress to throwing off the mound.
Workman participated at the Red Sox’s Baseball Winter Weekend event at Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Mashantucket, Conn., this weekend.
The media was present to cover the event, and they talked with Workman about his road to recovery.
Workman last threw a major league pitch on Sept. 18, 2014.
“I definitely planning on that,” said Workman when asked about coming back to pitch for the Red Sox, in a story Ricky Doyle wrote for NESN.com. Read more in the Jan. 27 Bowie News.
