Red Sox manager Alex Cora acknowledged that Richard Fitts' future with the rotation depends heavily on the health status of Tanner Houck, who is currently dealing with a shoulder issue.
Houck's recent performance has been hindered by a 'dead arm' condition after pitching a career-high number of innings this season. Cora is cautious but not overly worried about Houck's shoulder.
The Red Sox are carefully evaluating Houck's condition as he has struggled in the second half of the season, holding an 0-4 record with a troubling 4.78 ERA.
Fitts, who impressed in his MLB debut, finds his immediate future uncertain as Boston assesses pitching rotation options while Houck aims to regain earlier season form.
