Red Sox's Brandon Workman: Throws in extended spring training

Workman (elbow) has pitched three times in extended spring training, the Boston Globe reports.

Analysis:

Workman has been out-of-sight, out-of-mind while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He's pitching on a five-day schedule with the hope that his velocity and endurance will increase over time. "How he throws and how the arm strength returns will indicate how we factor him in and what he's going to be capable of," manager John Farrell said. The right-hander, who has experience as both a starter and reliever, is expected to begin a rehab assignment for Short-Season Lowell when their season opens on June 17.
