Red Sox pitcher Tanner Houck will undergo Tommy John surgery, officially ending his 2025 season and jeopardizing his 2026 campaign. Initially believed to have a minor injury, Houck faced challenges during rehab, ultimately being placed on the 60-day IL. He struggled with an 8.04 ERA this season and did not register a win as a starter. The Red Sox's pitching depth is affected, and while they’ve added Dustin May, uncertainty remains after missing out on top starters. Houck aims for a full recovery to return to All-Star form, even if it means missing the entire 2026 season.
"Tough year for him," Cora said. "Tough year for us. But he'll kill the rehab. He'll do his job and whenever he comes back, he'll be OK."
Houck was originally thought to have a relatively minor injury. He completed his minor league rehab assignment, but wasn't prepared for a return, leading to Boston holding off on his activation.
