Tanner Houck - Page 36 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Likely to start Wednesday Houck will likely start Wednesday against the Blue Jays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Manager Alex Cora said that Houck will be available out of the bullpen for the team's current series against the Yankees, but he'll likely start on the road Wednesday. He'll likely return to the bullpen after the start as the Red Sox plan to utilize him in a versatile role, but the right-hander's availability as a starter certainly boosts his fantasy value going forward.

Red Sox News: Boston Calling Up Top Pitching Prospect Tanner Houck The Boston Red Sox are calling up top pitching prospect Tanner Houck ahead of their series against the New York Yankees.

JULY 15, 2021 • FANDUEL.COM

Recalled by Red Sox Houck was called up by Boston on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Houck has made five starts and one relief appearance for the Red Sox across last year and the early part of this season, cruising to a 1.98 ERA and a 30.6 percent strikeout rate over 27.1 innings of work. He missed over a month with elbow issues but has been back with Triple-A Worcester since mid-June, though his 5.14 ERA in six starts (none of which have lasted more than four innings) at that level is less than impressive. It's unclear what exactly Houck's role will be during his time with the team, as the Red Sox don't have an obvious hole in their rotation. He could be used as part of a six-man rotation or could pitch in a multi-inning role out of the bullpen.

How soon, we don't know yet but he's important for us and he will contribute." Since returning from the injury, Houck has a 3.07 ERA with 19 strikeouts and three walks over 14.2 innings for the WooSox.
