Tanner Houck's five strikeouts | 03/17/2023 Tanner Houck delivers for the Red Sox, striking out five batters in 4 2/3 innings vs. the Braves in his fourth start of Spring Training

Makes third start Houck allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over 3.1 innings in Sunday's spring start against the Yankees.

Impact Houck made his third spring start, and it's looking like he'll remain in that role for the start of the regular season. Both Brayan Bello (forearm) and James Paxton (hamstring) appear to be heading for the injured list to start the season, which opens up a spot for Houck and another depth starter. Add in Garrett Whitlock (hip), who will make his spring debut this week, and there could be plenty of openings for Houck.

Tanner Houck's four strikeouts | 03/12/2023 Tanner Houck has a productive day in his Spring Training start vs. the Yankees, striking out four batters in 3 1/3 innings

Makes second spring start Houck allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four over three innings in Tuesday's spring start against Atlanta.

Impact While the results aren't impressive, Houck faced one batter over the minimum in the first two innings when he registered three of his four strikeouts. Red Sox manager Alex Cora was pleased with the pitcher's second Grapefruit League start, Dawn Klemish of MLB.com reports. "As far as stuff, I saw a lot of swings and misses, and he used a split-change a few times today and kept them off-balance, so that was a good one," Cora said. One goal for the right-hander was to throw more strikes, and Houck threw first-pitch strikes to 11 of 13 batters faced. Houck, who has served in a variety of roles for Boston, was ticketed for a multi-inning relief role in 2023, but injuries to three projected starters make him a rotation possibility to start the season. None of the three starters -- Brayan Bello (forearm), James Paxton (hamstring) and Garrett Whitlock (hip) -- are expected to be out too long.

Tuesday's spring training report: Red Sox righthander Tanner Houck controls Braves - The Boston Globe Houck, vying for a rotation spot, matched up against a number of the Braves’ starters in his second appearance of the spring.

Rust shows in spring debut Houck allowed four walks and struck out two over 1.2 scoreless innings in Thursday's spring game against the Phillies.

Impact Houck, working as a starter, made his spring debut and looked rusty. It was the first game appearance in seven months for the right-hander, who missed the final seven weeks of 2022 with a back issue that eventually required surgery. Houck told Ian Browne of MLB.com that he was "leaving the arm hanging behind" and knows the adjustment he needs to make. Houck is projected to serve in a multi-inning relief role, but the club is stretching him out during the Grapefruit League. He could emerge as a rotation member early on if Garrett Whitlock (hip) and/or Brayan Bello (forearm) are delayed.

Likely to open season in rotation? Houck could be in line to open the season in the Red Sox' rotation with Garrett Whitlock (hip) and Brayan Bello (forearm) behind schedule, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Houck had seemed ticketed for a relief role when camp opened, but it appears he'll be needed more in the rotation initially. It's possible the assignment is temporary, as neither Whitlock or Bello are expected to miss much time if they do end up on the injured list. Of course, Houck could change that conversation if he gets off to a good start. The right-hander has a 3.22 ERA in 20 career starts and a 2.68 ERA in 33 relief outings.

Spring debut scheduled Houck will start next Thursday against against the Phillies, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact This will be the first time Houck pitches in game action since undergoing back surgery last September. He's in the mix for a rotation spot but could eventually serve as a multi-inning reliever, if Boston's projected starters remain healthy.

Impact Houck is one of seven candidates vying for the five-man rotation. The pitcher said he's a "full-go" for spring training after undergoing back surgery last September. Houck has been used as both a starter and reliever in the majors, thriving in both roles. The right-hander has a 3.22 ERA in 20 career starts and a 2.68 ERA in 33 relief appearances.
