Red Sox hope for Tanner Houck's return from injury this season

The Boston Red Sox are optimistic about the potential return of pitcher Tanner Houck this season. Houck, a 2024 All-Star, has been sidelined since undergoing Tommy John surgery last year. He faced hitters for the first time in Fort Myers on August 19, signaling progress in his recovery. There are expectations he could play a role out of the bullpen or as an opener upon his return. Alongside Houck, the Red Sox also anticipate returns of Garrett Crochet, Trevor Story, and Roman Anthony in the near future.
