Red Sox Pitcher Houck Needs Tommy John Surgery
SUFFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, AUG 2 – Tanner Houck will miss the rest of 2025 and likely most of 2026 after Tommy John surgery following a setback during rehab, ending his chance to pitch this season.
- On Saturday, Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced that Houck will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery and miss 2025 and possibly 2026.
- Amid his rehab, Tanner Houck, Boston Red Sox right-hander, was transferred to the 60-day injured list after reaggravating his injury on May 14, 2025.
- Amid mounting struggles, Tanner Houck, Boston Red Sox right-hander, was 0-3 with an 8.04 ERA and surrendered 11 earned runs in 2 1/3 innings on May 12 at Detroit.
- With Houck out, Boston Red Sox rely on Garrett Crochet, Lucas Giolito, Brayan Bello, Dustin May and Walker Buehler to carry the rotation through October, with Crochet leading all season.
- His return could be delayed until 2027 given the usual rehab timeline, as Tommy John surgery typically spans 12-15 months, says Cora.
