Adrian Houser - Page 9 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Falls to earth Friday Houser (3-3) took the loss Friday, coughing up six runs on eight hits and two walks over four-plus innings as the Brewers were downed 10-7 by Atlanta. He struck out three.

Impact After tying his career high by fanning 10 batters in his last outing, Houser crashed back to earth against the offense that leads the majors in homers and OPS, getting tagged for at least six runs for the first time since May 30. The right-hander got the hook after 90 pitches (55 strikes), and since the beginning of June he's posted a 4.64 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 35:16 K:BB through 42.2 innings. Houser remains a streaming option at best in most fantasy formats, but he could be worth deploying in his next start, likely to come on the road next week against the Nationals.

Ties career high with 10 Ks Houser allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters over six innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Saturday.

Impact Houser's punchout total came out of nowhere -- prior to Saturday, he hadn't struck out more than five batters in any game this season and had posted an overall 6.2 K/9. The right-hander had also completed six innings just three times over 12 starts, so his performance against one of the league's top offenses was at least mildly surprising. Still, Houser has been pitching fairly well recently -- over his past four appearances, he's posted a 3.57 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB over 22.2 frames.

Solid in no-decision Houser did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Reds. He struck out five.

Impact Though Jake Fraley tagged Houser for a two-run homer in the third inning, Houser managed to put together a decent showing Sunday, tying his season high in strikeouts and lasting at least five innings for a third straight start. Though Houser owns a 3.79 ERA through 57 innings, his lack of strikeouts (6.2 K/9) and inability to go deep into games (six or more innings pitched three times in 10 starts) make him difficult to trust in most formats.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Maneuvers through five frames Houser allowed one run on six hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Cubs on Wednesday.

Impact To get through five frames, Houser needed 104 pitches and threw only 60 of them for a strike, but the veteran still allowed just one run to score. The right-hander didn't retire the side in order in any inning, though a key part of his success was preventing the Cubs from notching any extra-base hits. Since his return to the rotation June 29, Houser has allowed just three runs over 11 frames, but he's yielded 13 hits and four walks during that span. He's pitched well enough to justify Milwaukee's decision to include him in a six-man rotation, though that could change when Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is ready return from the injured list.

JULY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets another start Houser is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Cubs at American Family Field.

Impact Houser will pick up another start while the Brewers seemingly plan to maintain a six-man rotation heading into the All-Star break. After spending just under two weeks in the bullpen, Houser re-entered the rotation last Thursday and delivered a quality start in a win over the Mets, striking out five over six innings while yielding two runs on seven hits and one walk.

JULY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Triumphant in return to rotation Houser (3-2) earned the win over the Mets on Thursday, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five batters over six innings.

Impact Houser's previous two outings came out of the bullpen, but he was inserted back into the starting rotation to face New York. The right-hander gave up back-to-back solo homers to Brett Baty and Brandon Nimmo in the third inning, but those were the only runs he allowed in the contest. Houser was far from dominant -- he recorded only one 1-2-3 inning and notched just seven swinging strikes -- but the end result was a victory in a matchup versus future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer. It's uncertain what Milwaukee's long-term plan is for Houser, as his move back into a starting role was precipitated by a 17-day, 17-game stretch for the club leading into the All-Star break.

Will start Thursday Houser will return to the Brewers' starting rotation Thursday against the Mets, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Houser had been working out of the bullpen over the last couple of weeks, but the Brewers don't have any days off leading into the All-Star break and will give him another shot in a starting role. The 30-year-old right-hander has pitched to a 4.02 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB in 40.1 innings (seven starts, two relief appearances) this season.

JUNE 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Relegated to bullpen Houser will work out of the Brewers' bullpen going forward, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact With Wade Miley (lat) set to return from the injured list Saturday, Houser will move to the Brewers' bullpen to serve in a multi-inning relief role. Houser has allowed 13 runs (12 earned) across 15.1 innings over his last three starts.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tagged with five runs Houser (2-2) allowed five runs on six hits and four walks over four-plus innings Friday, striking out four and taking a loss against Oakland.

Impact The Athletics jumped on Houser early Friday, putting three runs on the board in the first inning followed by another in the second and fifth frames. He's coughed up 12 earned runs over his last three starts, spiking his ERA from 2.25 to 4.33 in the process. Houser also owns a lackluster 23:11 K:BB through 35.1 frames. He's currently projected to face the Pirates at home next week.

JUNE 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent in win Houser (2-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing a run on six hits over 7 innings against the Reds. He struck out two.

Impact Houser has held opponents to one run or fewer in three of his last four outings. He blanked Cincinnati for six innings Sunday, allowing a lone run on Jake Fraley's solo home run in the seventh. Houser's ERA is down to 3.45 with a 1.44 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB across six starts (31.1 innings). The 30-year-old right-hander is currently lined up for a solid matchup with the A's at home in his next outing.

Ambushed by Blue Jays Houser (1-1) took the loss Tuesday, coughing up seven runs (six earned) on 11 hits and three walks over 4.1 innings as the Brewers fell 7-2 to the Blue Jays. He struck out three.

Impact The right-hander got tagged for four runs in the first inning before he'd even gotten a second out, and Milwaukee never recovered. Houser walked multiple batters for the first time in five starts, and he'll take a 4.07 ERA and 17:7 K:BB through 24.1 innings into his next outing, likely to come this weekend in Cincinnati.

MAY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Blanks Houston in win Houser (1-0) earned the win Wednesday, allowing two hits and one walk across 5.1 scoreless innings during a 4-0 win over the Astros. He struck out three.

Impact Houser allowed back-to-back hitters to reach with two outs in the first, but he ended the inning by retiring Jose Abreu. Including Abreu, the right-hander retired 14 straight batters before Mauricio Dubon reached on an error in the sixth. Alex Bregman followed that up with a double, but Joel Payamps was able to keep Houser's sheet clean by getting back-to-back outs to end the threat. When Houser's inducing grounders like he was Wednesday, he's tough to crack, and after struggling in his first two starts of the season, he's tossed 11.1 scoreless innings over his last two outings. Houser holds a modest 12:4 K:BB across four appearances (20 innings).

Houser continues his surge as Brewers win 4-0, shut out Astros for 2nd straight game

Adrian Houser allowed two hits in 5 1/3 scoreless innings and the Milwaukee Brewers homered three times in a 4-0 victory over the Houston Astros on Wednesday afternoon

MAY 24, 2023 • Associated Press

Six scoreless in no-decision Houser did not factor into the decision Friday, tossing six scoreless innings in which he allowed four hits and one walk during a 1-0 loss to the Rays. He struck out four.

Impact Houser's start to the season was delayed by a stint on the injured list, and he wasn't sharp in his first two outings, allowing five runs on 15 hits across 8.2 innings. However, the right-hander found his form Friday and tossed six shutout frames against Tampa Bay's stout offense. Houser will look to make it back-to-back quality starts next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for the finale of a three-game set versus Houston.

Goes just four innings Saturday Houser allowed three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out two batters over four-plus innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Saturday.

Impact Houser was somewhat fortunate to have escaped the outing with just three runs on his ledger, as he allowed multiple baserunners in each of his four full frames. The right-hander remained in the contest to begin the fifth but was yanked after surrendering a leadoff solo homer to Salvador Perez. Houser didn't fool many batters with just five swinging strikes, and he needed 88 pitches to get just 12 outs. He'll likely remain in the rotation for the time being, though he's failed to impress through his first two starts, allowing five runs and 15 hits over 8.2 frames.

MAY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stays in rotation Brewers manager Craig Counsell confirmed that Houser is slated to start Saturday's game against the Royals at American Family Field, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin repor...

Impact Milwaukee appears to have selected Houser as its fifth member of the rotation over Colin Rea, who appeared out of the bullpen in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Dodgers after starting in each of his prior five outings with the Brewers. Houser had been on the injured list all season with a groin injury before being reinstated last Sunday. In his 2023 debut against the Giants, Houser took a no-decision while striking out five over 4.2 innings and allowing two earned runs on seven hits and one walk. Houser could make for a useful streaming option against a weak Royals offense this weekend, but he'll likely struggle to maintain lasting season-long value outside of NL-only leagues.

MAY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in return Houser allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over 4.2 innings, taking a no-decision versus the Giants on Sunday.

Impact Houser missed the first month-plus of the regular season with a groin injury. He wasn't very efficient, needing 87 pitches (53 strikes) to get through his season debut, but he was able to put in a solid performance despite ending up an out short of qualifying for the win. The right-hander posted a 4.73 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 69:47 K:BB through 102.2 innings last season. If he can trim his walk rate a bit in 2023, he may be slightly better than the back-end rotation option he's been recently. Houser's next start is projected for a favorable home matchup versus the Royals next weekend.

MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Reinstated to start Sunday Houser (groin) was activated from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday against the Giants, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Houser opened the season in the injured list with a groin injury but is ready to join the big-league rotation after a four-game rehab stint with Triple-A Nashville, during which he allowed five runs with a 12:5 K:BB in 14.2 frames. The 30-year-old threw 80 pitches over five innings during the final rehab outing, so he should be cleared for close to a full workload in his season debut Sunday in San Francisco.

MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to start Sunday Houser (groin) is likely to make his season debut on Sunday against the Giants, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact It seems as though the only reason Houser isn't already officially being listed as Sunday's starter is because it's possible he might be needed before then. Colin Rea is in line to start Saturday but then figures to cede his spot in the Brewers' rotation to Houser. Houser has been out all season with a groin injury but is ready to roll after holding a 3.07 ERA in four rehab outings.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could make start against Giants Brewers manager Craig Counsell told reporters before Tuesday's game that Houser (groin) is trending toward making a start soon for Milwaukee, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact McCalvy believes that start could come against the Giants in the upcoming three-game series against San Francisco. Houser threw five innings Friday for Triple-A Nashville in a rehab start while allowing three runs and reaching 80 pitches. It remains to be seen when Houser will rejoin the Milwaukee pitching staff, but those looking for help in pitching categories could add Houser as a potential fill-in.

MAY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Covers five frames Friday Houser (groin) worked five innings and struck out three while giving up three earned runs on three hits and two walks Friday in his most recent rehab start for Triple-A Nashville.

Impact Over the course of his four rehab starts, Houser has posted a 3.07 ERA and 1.50 WHIP, and after covering five innings and 80 pitches Friday, he appears to be fully stretched out for a starting role. According to Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin, Brewers general manager Matt Arnold said Sunday that Houser's role upon returning from the 15-day injured list is to be determined, but it could hinge on how Colin Rea performs in his start Sunday against the Angels. If Rea struggles, Houser could replace him in the rotation as soon as the Brewers' upcoming series in Colorado that begins Tuesday.
