In a corresponding move, the White Sox have designated infielder Nick Maton for assignment.

Workman appeared in nine games with the Cubs so far this season, going 3-for-14 with one double and one walk at the plate.

Now 25, Workman previously spent several years in the Detroit Tigers organization, hitting .280/.366/.476 at the Double-A level with the Erie SeaWolves in 2024.

Maton, an Illinois native, was 9-for-52 with two home runs in 23 games with the White Sox this season.

The White Sox will take on the Athletics at 3:05 p.m. local time Saturday, while the Cubs will host the Philadelphia Phillies at Wrigley Field at the same time.
