The 2025 season has not been kind to Boston Red Sox starter Tanner Houck. After Houck’s latest blowup against the Detroit Tigers, an outing which saw him allow 11 earned runs on nine hits and two home runs over two and 1/3 innings, he has received perhaps his most discouraging news so far.

Tanner Houck is in line to pitch for the Red Sox on Sunday against the Braves. But Alex Cora included an interesting qualifier when discussing what's next for the struggling righty.

Houck, who allowed 11 earned runs over 2 1/3 innings in a 14-2 loss against the Tigers on Monday night, is enduring the worst stretch of his career.

Its Monday, May 12 and the Red Sox (22-20) are in Detroit to take on the Tigers (26-15). Tanner Houck is slated to take the mound for Boston against Jackson Jobe for Detroit.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora explained after Boston’s 6-4 win over Texas Wednesday why he lost his challenge in the third inning.

Wilyer Abreu: The second star of the game, with two solo home runs and an RBI double. He has some vendetta against the Texas Rangers, because he loves hitting against them. He and Bregman were the sole run producers tonight, though other members of the team did get on base.
