Tanner Houck Almost Ready For Rehab Assignment
1 year agoBoston Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck (face) is getting ready for a rehab assignment, which will begin on Saturday with Triple-A Worcester. He'll aim for around 40 pitches before bumping that up to 60 in his next rehab game on Wednesday. If everything goes as planned, Houck could return to the Red Sox for their road trip, which starts on August 15, after landing on the injured list on June 18 with a facial fracture. Over 13 starts, the 27-year-old owns a 5.05 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 64 strikeouts across 67.2 innings. Manager Alex Cora doesn't know what role the team will use Houck in, and if he's moved to the bullpen, that erases almost all of his fantasy value.
