Tanner Houck's outing against the Orioles | 09/08/2023 The data behind Tanner Houck's outing

Escapes with fourth win Houck (4-8) picked up the win Saturday, giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk over five-plus innings in Boston's 9-5 win over Kansas City. He struck out five.

Impact The right-hander cruised through five innings before hitting a wall in the sixth, loading the bases with nobody out on two singles and a hit-by-pitch. Houck then had to watch all three baserunners come around to score after he'd left the mound, but fortunately for the Red Sox, they'd already scored all nine of their runs at that point. It's Houck's first win since April 20, snapping an eight-decision losing streak, and in three starts since being activated from the IL in late August he's stumbled to a 5.14 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB through 14 innings. With Boston trying to stay alive in the wild-card race, it's not clear how patient the team can afford to be with the 27-year-old, but for the moment his next start is lined up for a home series next weekend against the Orioles.

Saddled with loss Houck (3-8) took the loss Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over four innings against the Dodgers. He struck out four.

Impact It was a bit of an unlucky defeat for Houck, who scattered seven baserunners on the afternoon with James Outman's solo home run in the fourth serving as the only run he allowed. Houck kept Boston in the game but threw 80 pitches and was removed after four. Chris Murphy followed and was shelled for six runs in his four innings, leaving Houck to assume credit for the loss. He will take a 4.93 ERA into his next start, which is currently scheduled to take place next weekend in Kansas City.

Tanner Houck's four strikeouts | 08/27/2023 Tanner Houck has a strong outing in his 15th start of the season, striking out four batters while letting up just one run in four innings

AUGUST 27, 2023 • MLB.COM

Takes loss in first game back Houck (3-7) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over five innings against the Astros. He struck out two.

Impact After a two-month stint on the IL recovering from being hit in the face by a comebacker, Houck retook the mound against Houston on Tuesday. Despite the lengthy absence, Houck picked up right where he left off, taking his seventh loss of the season and extending his win drought to 118 days (10 starts). Though he was limited to 69 pitches in Tuesday's return, fantasy managers should expect Houck's pitch count to increase over the next few starts. However, he's lined up to take on the Dodgers next time out, making him an unattractive option in nearly all fantasy formats.

Tanner Houck K's Jose Altuve | 08/22/2023 Tanner Houck strikes out Jose Altuve in his first start back from injury since June 16

AUGUST 23, 2023 • MLB.COM

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.

Making return Tuesday at Houston Houck (face) will be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday against the Astros, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact The right-hander has been sidelined since mid-June after being struck in the face by a comebacker and requiring surgery, but he's been cleared to rejoin Boston's rotation after a three-start rehab assignment. Houck threw 59 pitches over four scoreless innings during his final rehab start, so he'll likely have some workload limitations in his return to the big-league mound.

Dominates in third rehab start Houck (face) struck out four over four scoreless innings and allowed one hit and no walks in his third rehab start with Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.

Impact Houck has been razor sharp over his most recent two outings for Worcester, covering seven scoreless frames while striking out seven and permitting just three baserunners. He was lifted after 59 pitches (36 strikes) on Wednesday, and though he isn't yet stretched out enough to handle a typical starter's workload, the Red Sox are likely to bring Houck back from the 15-day injured list and have him make his next appearance in the big leagues. Houck tentatively lines up for a return Monday in Houston, and he could be part of a six-man rotation if the Red Sox elect to keep Nick Pivetta in a starting role.
