Tanner Houck was scratched from his start against the Yankees due to right shoulder fatigue, raising concerns about his performance since the All-Star break.
Richard Fitts, filling in for Houck, performed impressively in his MLB debut, providing a ray of hope for the Red Sox amidst their pitching challenges.
Houck has not been the same post-All-Star break, struggling with a 0-4 record and a 4.78 ERA, indicating potential fatigue from increased workload.
The matchup is significant for Fitts, who was drafted by the Yankees and traded to the Red Sox, adding a personal element to his start.
