Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
In his third year at Double-A, Workman finally put things together and was rewarded by being chosen in the Rule 5 draft by the Cubs. The former Tiger farmhand is a good defender at third base and can handle second base and shortstop as well. Workman slashed .280/.366/.476 with 18 home runs, 30 steals and a 27.5 percent strikeout rate in 126 games at Double-A, but it's worth noting that Workman had logged 183 games at Double-A prior to 2024. He's heading into his age-25 season and has zero experience above Double-A, so he'll likely play sparingly for as long as the Cubs stash him in the majors. He'll likely hit for a very low batting average if/when he plays in the big leagues this season. Read Past Outlooks

The White Sox acquired Workman from the Cubs on Saturday in exchange for cash.
ANALYSIS
Nick Maton was designated for assignment to make room on the roster for Workman. The Cubs plucked Workman from the Tigers in December's Rule 5 Draft, but he barely played while striking out in six of his 15 plate appearances. Workman, who is a good defensive infielder and can handle multiple spots, should work in a utility role for the White Sox.
