Pinch-hitting for Zack Short in the sixth, Workman homered off Nick Mears with a man on to make it a 5-3 game. He hit that fly 383 feet and then had an impressive flyout at 106 mph in his second and final at-bat. That one had an xBA of .840. A left-handed hitter, Workman wasn’t going to start against the lefty Noah Cameron tonight, but he was doing well enough in Triple-A (.358/.413/.590) that he really should get a look here with Kerry Carpenter out. He’ll probably start at least a couple of games during the Mets series that begins Tuesday.

Workman spent time in the majors as a Rule 5 pick last year, going 3-for-14 with the Cubs and 0-for-2 with the White Sox, but he ended up being returned to the Tigers in May. He went unpicked in the latest Rule 5 draft over the winter, but now he’s getting another look after hitting .358/.413/.590 with four homers and 12 steals in 150 plate appearances for Toledo. After seeing considerable time in the outfield last year, he’s been strictly an infielder this season, starting 15 games at short, 11 at second and eight at third for Toledo. With Colt Keith likely to spend more time in the DH spot while Kerry Carpenter is out, the Tigers figure to give Workman starts at second and third against righties.

He allowed one run on two hits and walked one. He now has started two games and has a microscopic 0.38 xFIP and 1.23 ERA for the Threshers. If these trends continue, Gage Wood’s future salary will be Wage Good.

If it seems like a lopsided deal on the surface, it’s because it’s basically a salary dump for the Red Sox who are getting out from $16 million or so of the $25 million that’s remaining on Hicks’ contract over the next two seasons. We’ll wait and see how the players to be named later shake out. Ziehl, 22, was acquired by the White Sox in last season’s deadline deal that sent Austin Slater to the Yankees. He registered a 4.12 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 90/19 K/BB ratio over 107 innings across three minor league levels in 2025. The Red Sox had conversations about acquiring Jordan Leasure instead but ultimately thought that Ziehl was too good to pass up.

Ziehl is the 18th-ranked prospect in the Yankees system, according to MLB Pipeline, so this is a pretty good return for the White Sox. The 22-year-old has a 4.15 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 70/14 K/BB ratio in 74 1/3 innings across three minor league levels this season. Ziehl has above-average command of a 94 mph fastball and pairs that with a plus sweeper and an improving changeup. He has made only one start in Double-A for the Yankees, so it remains to be seen where the White Sox send him.

One of the more intriguing talents from the 2025 MLB Draft, Wood landed with the Phillies as the 26th overall pick following a remarkable collegiate career at Arkansas. MLB Pipeline’s Jim Callis reports he’ll receive a nearly full-slot $3 million signing bonus. The hard-throwing 21-year-old righty will likely get a shot to start initially, but his power arsenal could play up in a high-leverage relief role down the road. He’s a name to watch for dynasty purposes.

Jump made quite a statement in his second Double-A outing as he continues cementing his status as one of this season’s fastest-rising pitching prospects for dynasty purposes. The 22-year-old southpaw has reeled off 12 consecutive scoreless frames with a 14/3 K/BB ratio since posting a sparkling 2.32 ERA and 45/5 K/BB ratio across 31 innings (six appearances, five starts) at High-A Lansing to open the year. He’s a name dynasty managers should already know, but he’s going to be a household name in a few months if he keeps this up.
