Tanner Houck Doesn't Throw Scheduled Live BP
2 years agoBoston Red Sox pitcher Tanner Houck (back) didn't throw live batting practice as scheduled Tuesday due to continued back soreness. He has been sidelined since August 9 with a disc issue in his back. The 26-year-old is "on hold" with continued back soreness. He has been solid this season, posting a 3.15 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with eight saves and 56 strikeouts in 60 innings pitched over 32 appearances (four starts). The right-hander is eligible to come off the 15-day injured list. Houck is hopeful to pitch again this season and is likely a few weeks away from returning to action. Fantasy managers with an open IL spot can continue to stash Houck on their roster.
