As of May 11, 2026, the Detroit Tigers have selected the contract of prospect Workman from their Triple-A affiliate in Toledo. This move comes as the team places outfielder Kerry Carpenter on the 10-day injured list with a shoulder ailment.
Workman, who has spent most of his career within the Tigers organization, previously saw brief major league action in 2025 with the Cubs and White Sox as a Rule 5 Draft pick. He was returned to Detroit in May of that year and now appears set for his first MLB playing time with the Tigers.
In 35 games with Toledo this season, Workman has excelled, accumulating a 1.003 OPS, four home runs, and 12 stolen bases. He has demonstrated significant versatility, playing second base, third base, and shortstop, though he has not played in the outfield in 2026. Last season, he made at least ten starts at all three infield positions for Toledo.
