Red Sox Considering Removing Tanner Houck From The Rotation
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.
