Tanner Houck - Activated from IL Houck (face) was activated from the injured list Tuesday ahead of his start against the Astros, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Impact The right-hander has been out since mid-June after his face caught a comebacker, requiring surgery. After making a three-start rehab assignment, the 27-year-old is ready. In his most recent rehab start, he tossed 59 pitches in 4.0 innings, allowing zero runs. In a corresponding move, Chris Murphy was optioned. Houck has another tough matchup tentatively lined up against the Dodgers this weekend, but he could be a solid streaming option next week in Kansas City, assuming he sticks in the rotation.

Wilyer Abreu - Gets first call against former team Abreu was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, although he is not in the lineup against the Astros, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Impact Abreu was traded from Houston to Boston a little over a year ago as part of the package that netted the Astros Christian Vazquez, and he could see his first big-league action against the team that originally signed him out of Venezuela in 2017. The lefty-hitting outfielder was already on the 40-man roster, and his ability to play all three outfield spots could come in handy for Boston with Jarren Duran (toe) on the shelf. Abreu hit .274 with 22 home runs and eight steals in 86 games at Triple-A. Adam Duvall figures to be the primary center fielder while Duran is out.

Jarren Duran - Officially lands on IL Duran was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left toe sprain, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Impact We already knew this move was likely, and now it's official. Adam Duvall should get the bulk of the starts in center field while Duran is sidelined, and prospect Wilyer Abreu, who was recalled in a corresponding move, could also get some work in the short term.
