Tanner Houck Finishes Rehab Assignment, Could be Optioned to Minors
Tanner Houck (elbow) completed his rehab assignment this past Thursday, finishing five starts with a 5.74 ERA over 15 rehab innings. He threw one of those games for Double-A Portland and the other four for Triple-A Worcester. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that the team hasn't decided where he will play next, but it needs to be decided soon. Houck has struggled mightily this season, posting an 8.04 ERA over nine early-season starts before going to the injured list with a right flexor pronator strain. According to Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow, there are many options on the table, such as a starter or a reliever for the Red Sox, or getting optioned back to Triple-A.
