    Tanner Houck Expected To Be Ready For Spring Training

    Boston Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck (back) underwent surgery to fix a disc issue in his lower back on Sept. 6 and won't return this season. He was moved to the 60-day injured list on Sept. 4. Houck is expected to make a full recovery in time for spring training next year, and he's already feeling better. "Oh, I definitely can feel the difference," Houck said. "Before, my leg was on fire. I described it as fire ants were running up and down my leg. I have no more side effects, no more anything. I feel completely back to normal. I already told [manager Alex Cora] I'd pitch tonight if they let me, but I don't think that'll happen." Before his injury, the 26-year-old was having a fine season, converting eight of his nine save chances while posting a 3.15 ERA in 32 outings.

    Tanner Houck Likely Having Back Surgery

    Boston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Tanner Houck (back) is expected to have back surgery to repair a disc issue. Houck was expected to miss the rest of the 2022 season, but this news all but confirms that. Houck has been dealing with the issue since an IL stint in early August, and even when he was pitching he wasn't feeling right. The Red Sox closer pitched to a 3.15 ERA and 1.18 WHIP while recording eight saves. Expect Boston to continue going with a closer-by-committee approach, with Garrett Whitlock, John Schreiber, and Matt Barnes all getting opportunities down the stretch.

    Good Chance Tanner Houck Is Done For The Year

    The Boston Red Sox are shutting right-hander Tanner Houck (back) down now, and there's "a good chance" he'll miss the rest of the 2022 season, according to skipper Alex Cora. The team scratched Houck from his scheduled live batting practice session on Tuesday due to continued back soreness, and there's just not enough time left in the year for the 26-year-old to make it back, especially since the Red Sox are on the outside of the playoff picture. He went on the injured list on Aug. 9 with a disc issue in his back, and he continued to deal with soreness when he resumed throwing. If this is the end of the road for Houck in 2022, he'll finish with a 5-4 record, 3.15 ERA (3.31 FIP), a 1.18 WHIP, eight saves and a 56:22 K:BB in 60 innings over 32 appearances (four starts).

    Tanner Houck Doesn't Throw Scheduled Live BP

    Boston 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.

    Tanner Houck Hopes To Pitch Again In 2022

    Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Tanner Houck (back) is hopeful that he'll be able to pitch again this season. He said he's feeling much better after getting rest and didn't need an injection or surgery for the disc issue in his back. Houck has resumed playing catch over the last few games. The 26-year-old right-hander has been solid for the Red Sox this year with a 3.15 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, eight saves and 56 strikeouts in 60 innings pitched over 32 appearances (four starts). Because he could return to the closer role when he's ready in September, he's worth stashing in fantasy leagues. Until then, Garrett Whitlock and John Schreiber are the best bets for save opportunities in Boston's bullpen.
