Mets, Tigers lineups (4/4/2024): Adrian Houser makes his Mets debut Adrian Houser will make his Mets debut in Citi Field against the Tigers

APRIL 4, 2024 • NJ.COM

Tuesday's contest postponed Houser and the Mets will not play the Tigers on Tuesday after the contest was postponed due to poor weather, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Houser will likely now draw the start Wednesday, while Tuesday's game has been rescheduled for Thursday afternoon. The right-hander was initially expected to have a two-start week, which now appears to be unlikely.

Fans six against Nats Houser allowed four runs on four hits over five innings in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals. He struck out six without walking a batter.

Impact The ball was carrying to left field at Clover Park, and Luis Garcia was able to slice a solo shot over the fence in the first inning before Lane Thomas clubbed a three-run blast in the fifth. Otherwise Houser had little trouble with the Washington lineup, firing 44 of 64 pitches for strikes. The former Brewer has been sharp this spring, posting a 14:1 K:BB through 12 innings, and he's on track to open the season in the Mets' rotation after producing a 4.12 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 96:34 K:BB over 111.1 innings last year and earning a one-year, $5 million contract with New York in January.

Mets' Adrian Houser provides blueprint for success in 2024 Mets pitcher Adrian Houser is excited to bring his success from last season to 2024

Reaches deal with Mets Houser signed a one-year, $5.5 million contract with the Mets on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact The Mets acquired Houser from the Brewers in late December, and he projects to serve as rotation depth in 2024. In a similar role in Milwaukee in 2023, he posted a 4.12 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 111.1 frames. While those are pedestrian numbers, Houser did manage to reach a 20 percent strikeout rate for the first time since 2019.

Tosses scoreless outing Houser (8-5) allowed three hits and two walks over five scoreless frames Sunday, striking out five and picking up a win over the Cubs.

Impact Houser worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the first inning and steered clear of danger for the rest of his outing. It was his first scoreless start since May 24. He's given up two or fewer earned runs in five of his last six starts, registering a 3.21 ERA during that span. Houser turned in a 4.12 ERA and a 96:34 K:BB through 111.1 innings during his 2023 season.

Taylor homers, Houser pitches NL Central champion Brewers past Cubs 4-0 in final playoff tune-up

Tyrone Taylor homered and Adrian Houser pitched five sharp innings as the NL Central champion Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 4-0 in their final playoff tune-up

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • Associated Press

Lackluster against Cardinals Houser (7-5) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks over five innings against St. Louis. He struck out five.

Impact Despite retiring the first nine batters he faced, Houser finished Tuesday's start with four earned runs, including a solo homer to Tommy Edman in the fifth. Houser's struggles resulted in his first loss since Aug. 15, though, he missed a couple of weeks with an elbow injury. He'll likely take the mound once more before the end of the regular season, taking on the Cubs at American Family Field on Sunday.

Grabs seventh win Houser (7-4) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings to earn the win over the Cardinals on Wednesday.

Impact Houser has won both of his starts since returning from an elbow injury, allowing three runs over 11 innings in those outings. He limited the damage to an RBI single from Paul Goldschmidt in the first inning. Houser is at a 4.35 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 86:30 K:BB through 101.1 innings across 21 appearances (19 starts), but he's limited opponents to two runs or fewer in four of his last seven outings. The 30-year-old is lined up for a rematch at home versus the Cardinals next week.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns win in return Houser (6-4) earned the win Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits over five innings against Miami while striking out five. He did not issue any walks.

Impact Houser allowed a leadoff double to Luis Arraez to open the game, eventually leading to one run coming across for Miami in the first. The right-hander then retired nine of the next 10 batters he faced before surrendering a second run in the fifth. It was a solid outing for Houser in his return from the 15-day injured list (elbow) and he's now allowed three or fewer runs in three of his last four starts. He's also won three of his last four decisions (spanning six starts).

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activated for start Thursday Houser (elbow) was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Thursday versus the Marlins.

Impact Houser is back in the Milwaukee rotation after missing a couple of weeks due to swelling in his right elbow. He had posted a 5.77 ERA over his last 39 innings (eight starts) prior the IL stint and might be on a limited pitch count in his return outing Thursday against Miami after skipping a minor-league rehab assignment.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to rotation Thursday Houser (elbow) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Thursday's game against the Marlins, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Houser needed just a couple weeks of rest to recover from the elbow swelling that sent him to the IL on Aug. 28. The 30-year-old right-hander carries a 4.58 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 77:28 K:BB in 90.1 innings this season with the Brewers.

Resumes mound work Houser (elbow) threw a bullpen session Sunday without issue, MLB.com reports.

Impact Houser landed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 28 due to swelling in his right elbow, but he appears on track to be activated when first eligible Sept. 12. The 30-year-old has registered a 4.58 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 77:28 K:BB in 90.1 innings (17 starts, two relief appearances) when healthy this season for the Brewers.

The Milwaukee Brewers have placed right-hander Adrian Houser on the 15-day injured list with right elbow stiffness

AUGUST 28, 2023 • Associated Press

Hope for short IL stint Manager Craig Counsell, via Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, indicated "the hope is Houser (elbow) will miss a couple starts then be ready to rejoin the rotation."

Impact Houser landed on the injured list earlier Monday, so he will miss a couple starts regardless. However, it looks like he may only be facing the minimum stay on the injured list. The Brewers have not announced who will replace Houser in the rotation, but according to the report, they are expected to add a fifth pitcher rather than lean on Thursday's off day and make it through the next turn with only four starters.

AUGUST 28, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Hits IL with elbow effusion The Brewers placed Houser on the 15-day injured list Monday with right elbow effusion.

Impact When Houser exited after two innings in his start during Sunday's win over the Padres, the Brewers relayed that the 30-year-old was dealing with "minor" right forearm tightness. Follow-up tests revealed that he was actually experiencing fluid buildup in his elbow, and a trip to the injured list was deemed necessary. Bryse Wilson ended up covering four scoreless innings behind Houser on Sunday and could be a candidate to step in as the Brewers' new No. 5 starter, though it's conceivable that manager Craig Counsell opts for a four-man rotation this week thanks to a well-timed off day Thursday.

Suffers forearm injury in start Houser was removed after two innings in his start in Sunday's game against the Padres due to an injury the Brewers have labeled as "minor right forearm tightness," Adam McCalvy of...

Impact Though even "minor" forearm injuries have a tendency to send pitchers to the 15-day injured list, the Brewers will likely wait and see if Houser feels well enough to throw a bullpen session over the next few days before determining if he'll be able to make his next turn through the rotation, which would likely fall next weekend versus the Phillies. Houser had reached five innings in each of his last four starts while pitching to a 3.80 ERA and 1.13 WHIP before his early exit Sunday.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fans seven in win Houser (5-4) yielded one run on six hits and a walk over five innings Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win against the Rangers.

Impact The lone blemish on Houser's line was a solo shot by Corey Seager in the third inning. Houser had allowed eight runs across 10.1 frames in his previous two outings. He lowered his season ERA to 4.28 with a 75:27 K:BB through 88.1 innings. His next outing is projected to be at home against the Padres.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes fourth loss Houser (4-4) allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and struck out six without walking a batter over 5.1 innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Impact The Brewers were economical with their limited offense against Bobby Miller and Ryan Yarbrough, but Houser's sixth-inning fade took them out of the game. Houser has allowed at least three runs in five of his last six outings, and he hasn't gone more than six innings in any of them. The 30-year-old right-hander is now at a 4.43 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 68:26 K:BB through 83.1 innings over 17 appearances (15 starts) this season. He's lined up for a challenging road start at Texas this weekend.

AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Allows four runs in no-decision Houser did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk over five innings against Colorado. He struck out five.

Impact Houser got off to a solid start, needing only 16 pitches to get through the first two innings. Things unraveled for him in the fourth, however, beginning with a leadoff home run from Jurickson Profar and ending with a two-run single from Harold Castro before the right-hander was finally able to escape the inning. It was only Houser's fourth time this season in which he allowed at least four runs, though two of those occurrences have come over his last three starts. On a positive note, he's now recorded at least five strikeouts in four of his last five outings.

AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up fourth win Houser (4-3) earned the win Thursday, allowing a run on four hits and two walks over six innings against Pittsburgh. He struck out five.

Impact Houser allowed a lone run in the first inning before blanking the Pirates over his final five frames. The Brewers' offense would provide more than enough run support in a 14-1 victory. It was n impressive bounce-back effort from Houser after he allowed six runs over four innings in his last outing against Atlanta. The 30-year-old right-hander lowered his ERA to 4.19 with a 1.52 WHIP and 57:25 K:BB across 13 starts (73 innings) this season. Houser's currently in line to face the Rockies at home in his next start.
