Summary
The Red Sox are on a hot streak after sweeping the Orioles, but bullpen depth remains a concern—until Tanner Houck’s return. Set to throw 20 pitches in Double-A this Tuesday, then 40-45 with Portland Friday, and finally joining Triple-A Worcester next week, Houck is on track for a late September MLB activation. Once back, he’ll likely start in the bullpen—no starter role expected—but his All-Star-caliber sinker-slider combo could be a game-changer. Velocity looks strong, ground balls are coming, and this comeback might just be the boost Boston needs for its playoff push.
