Two days after allowing 11 earned runs for the second time this season, Tanner Houck was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Red Sox with a right flexor pronator strain. The move is retroactive to May 13.

If the start of the 2024 season was the best stretch of Tanner Houck's career, his 2025 has easily been the worst. Houck had yet another blow-up start on Monday, allowing 11 earned runs to the Detroit Tigers in 2 1/3 innings.

Tanner Houck is in line to pitch for the Red Sox on Sunday against the Braves. But Alex Cora included an interesting qualifier when discussing what's next for the struggling righty.
