Nabs third save Workman gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his third save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Blue Jays.
Impact He needed a little help from Alex Verdugo to keep the outing clean, as the right fielder robbed Travis Shaw of a homer to lead off the inning, but Workman still got the job done. The right-hander has yet to blow a save and has a 1.80 ERA and 7:3 K:BB through five innings to begin the season.

Picks up second hold Barnes allowed one hit, one walk and hit a batter over a scoreless eighth inning to pick up his second hold in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Mets.
Impact For a second straight game, Barnes entered in the eighth inning to shepherd a lead to closer Brandon Workman. And for a second straight game, Barnes put himself in trouble -- he gave up a home run during Wednesday's appearance, then the right-hander worked out of a two-out, bases-loaded jam Thursday. If he can't turn things around, he could slip below someone like Heath Hembree in the setup pecking order.

Walks tight rope in save Workman allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out two to record his first save of the season in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Mets.
Impact A pitching duel between Nathan Eovaldi and Jacob deGrom turned into a back-and-forth affair in the late innings. Workman loaded the bases with no outs in the ninth and limited the damage to snap Boston's four-game losing streak. In two appearances thus far, Workman has given up one run on three hits and two walks over two innings.

No clean innings Workman allowed four runs in one inning during Friday's intrasquad game, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Impact Workman was tagged for a three-run home run by Michael Chavis and has yet to pitch a clean inning in summer camp. "His stuff is fine. I talked to [pitching coach Dave Bush] about it," said manager Ron Roenicke. "He's just missing location. It's coming out nice. Locations aren't very good, and our hitters are not missing anything. But the velocity is there. He threw some nice curveballs." It should be noted that Workman, who opens the season as Boston's closer, does not have a long track record at the back end of the bullpen. The right-hander solidified the role over the second half of the season.
