He will report to Triple-A Toledo.<\/p>\n<p>This hardly comes as a surprise after the White Sox designated Workman for assignment earlier this week. The Cubs initially selected Workman from the Tigers in the Rule 5 draft this past December. He made the Opening Day roster for the North Siders and suited up for the club in nine games over the first few weeks of the season. However, the Cubs no longer had a role for him after signing the much more experienced utility infielder <strong>Nicky Lopez<\/strong> to a big league deal in mid-April. Per the Rule 5 regulations, the Cubs could not simply option Workman to the minors, so they DFA\u2019d him and traded him to the White Sox for cash considerations not long after.<\/p>\n<p>Workman played just three games for the White Sox before landing on the IL with a right hip flexor strain. Upon reinstating him, the South Siders chose not to add him back to their active roster and DFA\u2019d him instead. This time, evidently, no other teams were interested in giving him (and his .485 OPS through 17 PA) a spot on their active roster, so passed through waivers unclaimed. The White Sox then had to offer him back to the Tigers. As his original team, Detroit is not obligated to add him to its 26 or 40-man roster. He will return to the Tigers\u2019 minor league system, where he thrived last year, hitting .280 with a 142 wRC+ in 126 games at Double-A.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>View Comments (9)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Infielder Gage Workman has cleared waivers and the White Sox have returned him to the Tigers, per the regulations of the Rule 5 draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":55283,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1187],"class_list":["post-55282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-gage-workman"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
