Tanner Houck begins throwing in bridge league game for Red Sox

Summary

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck is set to appear in a bridge league game in Fort Myers on Tuesday. Houck has been on the injured list since May 2025 following elbow surgery. While he remains unlikely to pitch for the major league club this season, the appearance marks a progression in his recovery. The team also provided updates on other pitchers, noting Johan Oviedo will throw a live bullpen session this week while Garrett Crochet continues to play mound catch. On the offensive side, the Red Sox recently welcomed back Roman Anthony and Trevor Story from injury, though first baseman Willson Contreras was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday.
