Boston Red Sox left-hander Drew Pomeranz has replaced right-hander Brandon Workman on the roster for the World Series that was released Tuesday.
Game 1 is Tuesday night at Fenway Park in Boston.
Workman appeared in three games in the postseason and gave up seven hits and five earned runs — including two home runs — in one inning of a Game 1 loss to the Houston Astros in the American League Championship Series.
There had been some thought that knuckleballer Steven Wright might be sufficiently recovered from a recurrence of his knee injury to return for the World Series, but he’s not on the roster.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, meanwhile, added left-hander Scott Alexander to their World Series roster, replacing lefty Caleb Ferguson.
Ferguson, a rookie, appeared in six postseason games, facing a combined 10 batters, retiring nine and walking one.
Alexander led the Dodgers in appearances in the regular season but was left off the roster for the NLCS against the Brewers.
