Red Sox Place Tanner Houck On 15-Day Injured List
1 year agoThe Boston Red Sox announced on Sunday that they placed right-hander Tanner Houck (face) on the 15-day injured list with a facial fracture and recalled right-hander Kaleb Ort and left-hander Chris Murphy from the minors in corresponding moves. Murphy will serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the New York Yankees. Houck was hit by a comebacker on Friday and won't be able to return until July 2. The 26-year-old allowed a run while striking out only two in four innings before he was forced to leave on Saturday, and he now has a 5.05 ERA (4.21 FIP), 1.26 WHIP, 23 walks and 64 strikeouts in 67 2/3 innings over 13 starts for Boston this year. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Houck isn't ready to return when eligible.
