MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: Workman slowly begins rehab
Boston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Brandon Workman has slowly begun rehabilitation from a strained elbow injury.
Boston Globe sportswriter Pete Abraham reported Workman started playing catch on Wednesday.
Workman, a 2007 Bowie High School graduate, told Abraham he feels a difference since receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection in his elbow on April 15 during a visit to Dr. James Andrews.
Elbow strain caused Workman to land on the disabled list in mid-April. He logged 148-1/3 innings last year for both the Boston Red Sox and Pawtucket PawSox.
The Red Sox have not updated Workman’s status for returning to the bullpen, but it most likely won’t be anytime soon.
However, Boston manager John Farrell updated reporters on Workman’s condition.
“It was a four-week rest before he was to initiate a throwing program,” Farrell told MassLive.com’s Christopher Smith. “So we won’t know anything until he gets a couple of weeks into the program.
Farrell reported Workman will not receive another MRI on the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow.
Surgery still remains an option, Farrell said.

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.
