Red Sox Shut Down Tanner Houck Indefinitely

News summary

Boston Red Sox pitcher Tanner Houck has been shut down indefinitely following a recurrence of his right flexor pronator strain, which first placed him on the injured list in May. Despite a five-start rehab assignment, Houck experienced renewed discomfort and will remain on the IL as further medical tests are conducted. Manager Alex Cora stated that Houck is back to 'step one' of his recovery process, ruling out surgery but leaving his return timeline uncertain. Houck, a 2024 All-Star, struggled in 2025 with an 8.04 ERA over nine starts before the injury. His absence, along with other pitching injuries, has intensified Boston’s need for starting pitching ahead of the trade deadline. The Red Sox, currently third in the AL East, are monitoring Houck but are not expecting his return soon.
