## Resource

Tanner Houck is finally nearing his return to the mound after a grueling over-year recovery from elbow surgery, set to begin a critical rehab assignment next week with Double-A Portland. The Red Sox are cautiously optimistic as they watch how he handles game pressure, knowing his 2024 All-Star season and strong ERA make him a potential game-changer — whether as a starter, reliever, or setup man for next year.
