Tanner Houck, Boston Red Sox, Out With Right Flexor Pronator Strain, 15-Day IL
The Boston Red Sox have placed pitcher Tanner Houck on the 15-day injured list due to a right forearm strain, with a return expected in early July.
What It Means
With Tanner Houck sidelined, the Red Sox's pitching rotation faces a challenge. His current stats show an 8.04 ERA and 1.70 WHIP over 43 2/3 innings. This puts more pressure on pitchers like Garrett Crochet and Brayan Bello to fill the void.
Houck's absence affects the team's plans against upcoming opponents like the Milwaukee Brewers. The team's depth chart indicates several options for position players, but finding a non-pitcher to impact games might be tough. Key hitters like Rafael Devers and Carlos Narváez must continue to perform well to support the team's efforts during this period.
