Summary
Tanner Houck is back on the mound, inching toward a Red Sox playoff comeback after Tommy John surgery. He’s set for a 20-pitch rehab start in Double-A Portland, followed by a longer outing Friday — with Triple-A Worcester next week as a potential stepping stone to the postseason roster. Houck’s goal from day one: return just in time to face real competition and help his team push for the playoffs. He’s not just healed — he’s refined his arsenal, especially his two-seam fastball and splitter, while experimenting with a sweeper. The team’s taking it slow, monitoring his progress, but with Houck’s past impact and current focus, he’s poised to be a key bullpen boost when he returns.
