Scouting Report: Tanner Houck
Boston Red Sox | SP
Overall
Summary
Tanner Houck is recovering from hybrid reconstruction of his right UCL with flexor tendon repair performed in August 2025. As of mid-May 2026, he is progressing through his throwing program, making 75 throws out to 105 feet three days per week and 30 throws at 60 feet on alternate days while incorporating changeups. The Boston Red Sox are targeting late June for Houck to begin mound work, with potential for simulated games in July and a rehab stint thereafter. However, it remains uncertain whether he will pitch for Boston at all in 2026. Houck was an All-Star in 2024 but struggled significantly in 2025 with an 8.04 ERA over nine starts before undergoing surgery.
Strengths
- Progressive throwing program showing steady advancement
