The 28-year-old hasn\u2019t pitched since surrendering 11 runs to the Detroit Tigers on May 12.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, MassLive\u2019s Christopher Smith <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SmittyOnMLB\/status\/1933596920091718009\" rel=\"nofollow\">shared a photo<\/a> of Houck throwing off a pitcher\u2019s mound. Following the bullpen session, the Red Sox mapped out the next stage in his comeback.<\/p>\n<p>Per <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IanMBrowne\/status\/1933616789847458010\" rel=\"nofollow\">MLB.com\u2019s Ian Browne<\/a>, the Red Sox are aiming for Houck to make a minor-league rehab start next Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Houck\u2019s 2025 started far differently than last year. In his first full season in Boston\u2019s rotation, the right-hander made the All-Star team with a 2.54 ERA in 117 first-half innings. Houck finished the 2024 season with a 3.12 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 30 starts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Houck was winless with an 8.04 ERA in nine starts before getting sidelined in May. Unfortunately, his last appearance was the second time he allowed 11 earned runs in a single turn, as the Tampa Bay Rays also rocked Houck on April 14.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Houck will look to erase those early doldrums once he returns. If he comes back to a five-man rotation, he could bump Hunter Dobbins to the bullpen or minors despite the rookie\u2019s solid 4.20 ERA. <\/p>\n<p>Kutter Crawford, the only Red Sox pitcher to tally more innings than Houck last season, has sat out the entire season with a knee injury. The 29-year-old was also progressing toward a rehab stint, but a <a href=\"https:\/\/nesn.com\/2025\/06\/red-sox-injury-updates-wilyer-abreu-masataka-yoshida-kutter-crawford\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sore wrist <\/a>has delayed those plans.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Sox are slated to start Garrett Crochet, Dobbins, and Brayan Bello during their three-game home series against the New York Yankees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tanner Houck could soon take a significant step toward returning to the Boston Red Sox.
