11 months agoNew York Mets right-hander
Adrian Houser warmed up in the ninth inning in Tuesday's loss to the Philadelphia Phillies when
Sean Reid-Foley got hit. As a result, Houser will not start in Philadelphia on Wednesday against the Phillies. The Mets currently don't have a starting pitcher listed for Wednesday's contest. The 31-year-old Houser has made six starts for the Mets this year but was recently demoted to a relief role out of the bullpen and currently carries a rough 7.63 ERA (5.29 FIP) and 1.83 WHIP with 22 walks and 16 strikeouts in 30 2/3 innings. Houser is going to need to display better command to have a shot at returning to New York's starting rotation and sticking around beyond just an emergency spot start. The Mets will likely roll with a bullpen game against Philly on Wednesday now.

Adrian Houser has been familiarizing himself with a tinkered grip on his changeup while making mechanical tweaks to his slider in spring training. His second Grapefruit League start on Sunday against the Astros didn't go so smooth, as he allowed a lot of hard contact in 1 2/3 innings of work. Houser had been unhappy with his slider in his first start and he's been working on a more direct path with his arm to keep his slider from getting loopy. Only five of his 13 sliders on Sunday were thrown for strikes, and he didn't get any whiffs on it either, so it's clear it's still a work in progress. Especially given
Kodai Senga's (shoulder) injury, the Mets are hoping the 31-year-old Houser can step up to help solidify the back end of their rotation to begin the 2024 season.

Adrian Houser (elbow) is set to be activated from the 15-day injured list and start against the Miami Marlins on Thursday. The right-hander has been sidelined since late August due to elbow swelling. Before that, Houser held a 4.58 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, and 77/28 K/BB ratio over 19 games (17 starts) with the Brewers this season. Prior to this news,
Wade Miley was expected to pitch on Thursday, so it's unclear how the Brewers will shake up their rotation. For now, Houser is scheduled to pitch on Thursday, so fantasy managers can expect him to take the mound for that contest.

Adrian Houser (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Monday, according to manager Craig Counsell. The skipper said Houser is doing well, and it's possible that he'll be ready to rejoin the starting rotation right around when he's first eligible to return on Sept. 12. He left his Aug. 27 start after two innings and was diagnosed with swelling in his right elbow, although not in the area of his UCL. Milwaukee has believed all along that the 30-year-old's stint on the 15-day injured list would be short. It appears that fantasy managers will have him back for the stretch run. Houser has gone 5-4 with a 4.58 ERA (4.25 FIP), 1.48 WHIP, 28 walks and 77 strikeouts in 90 1/3 innings over 19 outings (17 starts) in his seventh year with the Brew Crew.
