Can I put red wrigglers on my raised beds now?

I have a major drainage problem in a new garden. We removed an old pool and filled it with soil, and unfortunately, compacted it in the process. We incorporated lots of compost and composted manure in the spring and made several raised beds. I added worms from our compost pile, but this is a large area to repopulate.

To fix the drainage problem, we have dug down about 3 feet in several places, and it's much better now, perhaps adequate.

Do you think adding worms could help improve our drainage? If so, do I need to wait until the fall? All suggestions welcome!
