Padres' Gage Workman: Sent down Sunday
Workman was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.
Workman is the odd man out with the big-league club after the Padres signed Austin Hays to a major-league contract Sunday. Workman had been with the major-league roster since Tuesday, going 1-for-3 with a double and three RBI in limited action over two contests. The 26-year-old has the ability to play all over the diamond, so he will be a top candidate to return to the Padres' roster if anyone goes down with an injury.

Padres' Gage Workman: Joins big club
The Padres added Workman to the 26-man active roster ahead of Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Workman had been playing at Triple-A Toledo since the beginning of June, but he'll open his time in the Padres organization with the big club after he was acquired from the Tigers on Monday. The 26-year-old has seen time at second base, third base, shortstop and both corner-outfield spots between his stops in the majors and minors this season, so he'll offer the Padres some versatility off the bench.

Padres' Gage Workman: Sent to San Diego
San Diego acquired Workman and right-hander Casey Mize from Detroit on Monday in exchange for left-handers Kash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Workman will join the fourth organization of his career after stops with the Tigers, Cubs and White Sox. The 26-year-old was added to the Tigers' 40-man roster May 10 and struggled in his brief time in the majors earlier this season, batting just .158 while striking out in 16 of 38 plate appearances. Workman has been productive at Triple-A Toledo, however, posting an .868 OPS with 11 home runs and 20 steals in 82 games. The Padres haven't indicated if he'll head to Triple-A El Paso or report to the big club, where he could be a valuable bench piece due to his ability to play all three outfield spots and multiple infield positions.

Tigers' Gage Workman: Returns to Triple-A
The Tigers optioned Workman to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
Workman ended up being the roster casualty when Kerry Carpenter (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday. After being called up from Triple-A on May 10, Workman appeared in 16 games for Detroit but slashed just .158/.158/.553 with a 42.1 percent strikeout rate over 38 plate appearances.

Tigers' Gage Workman: Idle Thursday
Workman is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.
Workman will hit the bench for the series finale with the Angels after he started both of the past two days, going 0-for-4 between those games to bring his average down to .167 on the season. With Workman taking a seat, the Tigers will make room in the starting nine at catcher for Jake Rogers while Dillon Dingler occupies the designated-hitter spot.

Tigers' Gage Workman: Taking seat for early game
Workman is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.
Since getting called up from Triple-A Toledo on May 10, Workman has provided five extra-base hits (two home runs, three doubles), but he's batting just .188 overall and has struck out in 16 of his 32 plate appearances. Even with Detroit still down three everyday players in Gleyber Torres (oblique), Kerry Carpenter (shoulder) and Javier Baez (ankle), Workman may have to settle for a part-time role if his contact woes continue.

Tigers' Gage Workman: Heading to bench Monday
Workman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.
After starting in three of the Tigers' previous four games, Workman will retreat to the bench while Detroit opens up a spot in the infield for Zack Short, who will cover shortstop in the series opener. Since being called up from Triple-A Toledo on May 10, Workman is getting on base at a weak .227 clip but has made his five hits count, smacking two home runs and a pair of doubles while driving in five runs.

Tigers' Gage Workman: Clubs home run Thursday
Workman went 2-for-4 with a double and a three-run home run in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Mets.
Making the start at second base, Workman went deep in the top of the first inning against Nolan McLean. Workman has only appeared in four games for the Tigers since getting recalled from Triple-A Toledo earlier this month, but he's already gone deep twice and is now sporting a 1.455 OPS. The 26-year-old could push for a larger role if he stays hot, though he also committed his second error of the year Thursday, and he'll need to hold his own defensively to stay in the lineup.

Tigers' Gage Workman: Added to big-league roster
The Tigers selected Workman's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
Workman has spent most of his career in the Tigers organization, but he briefly saw time in the big leagues in 2025 with the Cubs and White Sox as a Rule 5 Draft pick before he was returned to Detroit in May. He now looks poised to see MLB action with the Tigers for the first time after the team called him up as a replacement on the roster for outfielder Kerry Carpenter (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Workman has posted a 1.003 OPS with four home runs and 12 stolen bases over 35 games with Toledo this season while seeing time at second base, third base and shortstop. He hasn't played the outfield in 2026, but he made double-digit starts at all three spots with Toledo a season ago.

Tigers' Gage Workman: Blasts pinch-hit homer
Workman went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Royals.
Workman came off the bench to make his Tigers debut and wasted no time making an impact, crushing a two-run homer to give his club the lead in the sixth inning. The Arizona State product posted a 1.003 OPS with four homers, 28 RBI and 12 stolen bases across 35 games with Triple-A Toledo before being called up prior to Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old has primarily worked in the infield but also has some outfield experience that could help him earn playing time with Kerry Carpenter (shoulder) on the injured list.

Tigers' Gage Workman: Returns to Tigers
Workman cleared waivers Wednesday and was returned to the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Since being selected by the Cubs in the Rule 5 Draft this offseason, Workman has slashed .188/.235/.250 in the majors and has been cast off the active rosters of both Chicago clubs. He'll now return to his original organization without a spot on the 40-man roster and will presumably report to Triple-A Toledo to serve as organizational depth.

White Sox's Gage Workman: Activated and DFA'd by White Sox
The White Sox activated Workman (hip) from the 10-day injured list Monday and designated him for assignment.
Workman is over the hip injury that sent him to the IL after just one game for the White Sox, but the team has decided they don't have room for him on the 26-man active roster or 40-man roster. The Rule 5 pick has now been designated for assignment by both Chicago franchises and will be available via waivers again. If he clears waivers, he must be offered back to the Tigers for $50,000.

White Sox's Gage Workman: Cleared for rehab games
Workman (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Workman had made just one start for the White Sox before going down with a right hip flexor strain earlier this month. However, he has been cleared for games again and could be activated close to when he's first eligible Sunday.

White Sox's Gage Workman: Lands on IL with hip injury
The White Sox placed Workman on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right hip flexor strain.
Workman was evidently injured during his first start with the White Sox on Wednesday. It's not clear at this point how long the rookie infielder might be sidelined.

White Sox's Gage Workman: Dealt across town
Workman was traded from the Cubs to the White Sox on Saturday in exchange for cash.
The move was done prior to Saturday's game, so it's possible Workman will be available. Nick Maton was designated for assignment to make room on the roster. The Cubs plucked Workman from the Tigers in this year's Rule 5 draft, but he was barely playing (15 plate appearances) and had a 40 percent strikeout rate. Workman, who is a good defensive infielder and can handle multiple spots, should work in a utility infielder role for the White Sox.

Cubs' Gage Workman: Loses 40-man roster spot
The Cubs designated Workman for assignment Wednesday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
Workman had some defensive lapses and went just 3-for-14 at the plate in nine games for the Cubs this season. The Rule 5 pick will be available via trade or a waiver claim, but if no other teams are willing to dedicate an active roster spot to him, he must be offered back to the Tigers for $50,000.
