    Tanner Houck (forearm) allowed one run on three hits in 4 1/2 innings for Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.
    Houck struck out six and walked two on the day while throwing 61 percent of his pitches for strikes and posting a 39 percent whiff rate and 33 percent CSW. Despite a report of him hitting 101 mph on the radar gun, Houck sat 96 mph with his sinker and four-seam fastball. With Richard Fitts and Hunter Dobbins pitching well, there is no immediate spot in the rotation for Houck, but his stuff could play up in a bullpen role, possibly a long relief role for the second half.

    Tanner Houck (forearm) allowed four runs on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.
    Houck struck out three and walked one while averaging 93.6 mph on his sinker, which is down about one mph from his MLB innings this year. With Kyle Harrison likely joining the Boston rotation in a week or two, Houck may have to move to the bullpen in order to contribute MLB innings in 2025.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #89
    Tanner Houck (forearm) allowed four runs on three hits in 1 2/3 innings for Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.
    Houck sat 94 mph on his sinker and struck out two while also walking two. He threw 26 of his 49 pitches for strikes in the outing, but he was also clearly working on some changes, throwing more cutters than he did when he was in Boston’s rotation. Houck’s early-season struggles were not simply injury related, so the Red Sox will continue to work on his approach in the minors in the hopes of recapturing some of that early season magic form 2024.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #89
    Tanner Houck (forearm) allowed one run in his lone inning of work on Wednesday in a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Worcester.
    Houck was lifted after issuing a leadoff walk in the second inning after throwing 32 pitches (18 strikes) in his rehab debut. The 28-year-old righty will need a couple additional outings to continue building up his stamina and pitch count before returning to Boston’s rotation. He’s been out since mid-May due to a forearm flexor strain.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #89
    Tanner Houck will make a minor league rehab start on Wednesday for Triple-A Worcester.
    Houck has completed several bullpen sessions since hitting the injured list back in mid-May with a forearm flexor strain and will progress to his first rehab outing later this week. The 28-year-old righty got off to a disastrous start this season, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he got a couple rehab starts to attempt to iron things out and get back on track.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #89
    Tanner Houck (forearm) will thrown an up and down bullpen later this week.
    An up and down bullpen is one in which the pitcher begins to simulate a game setting by throwing a simulated inning and then resting as if their team was hitting before returning to the mound. It will help the Red Sox to determine how Houck’s forearm is responding to the stop and start of pitching in an MLB game. If this goes well, Houck could move on to live bullpens against hitters. He’s still a ways away and it’s unclear what kind of role he’ll return to.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #89
    Tanner Houck (forearm) threw a bullpen session on Saturday.
    Houck resumed throwing in late May and is likely several weeks away from making a minor league rehab start. He hit the injured list back in early May with a flexor strain and remains without an official return timetable. He’s a complete non-factor for fantasy purposes at the moment.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #89
    Tanner Houck (forearm) will resume throwing on Friday.
    Houck was sent to the injured list earlier this month with a flexor strain and is likely at least a couple weeks away from a potential return to Boston’s rotation.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #89
    Tanner Houck (flexor strain) has been fully shut down from throwing for now.
    Houck is dealing with a right flexor pronator strain but is also battling an 8.04 ERA in nine starts. Red Sox manager Alex Cora mentioned that the team would also use the rehab time to examine Houck’s pitch shapes and see if they can identify the root cause of his struggles. As of right now, there is no timeline for Houck’s return. It might be a couple of months.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher #89
    Red Sox placed RHP Tanner Houck on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 13, with a right flexor pronator strain.
    The fantasy ramifications are pretty straightforward. Rookie sensation Hunter Dobbins will keep his spot in Boston’s rotation with Walker Buehler (shoulder) coming off the injured list next week to take Houck’s vacant spot. It’ll likely be a bullpen game or spot starter taking the ball on Sunday against Atlanta. The 28-year-old righty will get some time away from the spotlight to attempt to put things back together from a mental and physical standpoint after struggling to a calamitous 8.04 ERA through nine starts to open the season.
