Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced following Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field that right-hander Tanner Houck (shoulder) would start on Wednesday night. Houck, who hasn't pitched since Sept. 4 due to right-shoulder fatigue, was supposed to return last Friday to face the division-rival New York Yankees in the Bronx, but he was scratched less than an hour before first pitch. He has a career-low 21.1% strikeout rate in 2024 but also a career-best 6.6% walk rate. Despite the lack of strikeouts, the 28-year-old has been solid for the Red Sox and fantasy managers when healthy this year, going 8-10 with a 3.24 ERA (3.34 FIP), a 1.17 WHIP and a career-high 150 strikeouts in 28 starts (169 2/3 innings) as a first-time All-Star. He has been lights-out facing the Rays twice this year, giving up just three runs (one earned) while walking four and striking out 12 in 12 2/3 frames.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

After Boston Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck had another nightmare outing on Monday night in a 14-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers in which he allowed 11 total runs while walking three and striking out none in 2 1/3 innings, manager Alex Cora admitted that the team will consider removing him from the starting rotation temporarily. It's been a hard fall after Houck was a first-time All-Star in 2024 -- this is the second time this year he's given up double-digit runs in less than three innings. The 28-year-old's ERA is now up to 8.04 through nine starts. Walker Buehler (shoulder) is hoping to return from the injured list soon, so if Houck is demoted to the bullpen or even the minors, Hunter Dobbins would probably be the beneficiary of extra starts for the BoSox. If Houck remains in the rotation, fantasy managers that stick with him should at least bench him until he can show signs of turning things around.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck turned in another poor start in Monday's 14-2 loss to the Tigers. Houck pitched just 2 1/3 innings, allowing 11 runs on nine hits (including two home runs) and three walks with no strikeouts. He also hit a batter. The 28-year-old had a solid 2024 campaign but has not been able to get anything going in 2025. He is now 0-3 with an 8.04 ERA, a 1.69 WHIP, a 6.60 K/9, and a 2.06 HR/9 in nine starts and 43 2/3 innings. Houck has allowed 11 runs in two of his starts and has only avoided homers in two of his starts. It has been extremely frustrating for fantasy managers, who may be hoping for Houck to return to his 2024 form, but who cannot afford to start him. His next scheduled start is a middling one against the Braves, but fantasy managers may be wise to sit him until he can string together a few encouraging starts.--Connelly Doan - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck turned in a quality start in a 4-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday. Houck allowed one run on four hits over seven innings while striking out six but had to settle for a no-decision in the contest. The outing was encouraging for the veteran hurler, who has struggled in 2025, posting a 0-2 record, 6.38 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, and 30 strikeouts over 36 2/3 innings of work. Houck has been a reliable fantasy starting pitcher over much of his career, so fantasy managers will want to stay patient with him despite the early-season struggles.--Matt T - RotoBaller

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck did a solid job on the mound during Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The right-hander went 6 2/3 innings, allowing one earned run on five hits while striking out two batters in a no-decision. Fantasy managers didn't get great results because of the fact Houck didn't have his strikeout pitch going for him. The Red Sox will gladly take this kind of outing, but fantasy managers can't be too excited right now. Houck has registered two strikeouts or less in two of his first three starts. Fantasy managers should hold him for now and hope for his strikeout numbers to rise.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller
