Could Tanner Houck Join Red Sox Rotation After All-Star Break?
NESN Logo Sign In  Tanner Houck impressed during his time with the Boston Red Sox last season, and has been rebounding well in Worcester from his flexor strain injury. Its a valid question, especially considering when Alex Cora revealed his plans for the starting rotation post All-Star break, he did not mention Garrett Richards. Richards has struggled mightily in his last few starts. The Red Sox pitcher has attributed some struggles to not being able to use sunscreen due to Major League Baseballs crackdown on foreign substances. Richards has developed a new pitch and has dumped his arm in a bucket of ice between innings in order to try to better himself. But the struggles continued. Prior to the Red Soxs middle game against the Los Angeles Angels, Cora was asked about the rotation plans after next weeks All-Star break. He said it will go Eduardo Rodriguez, Martn Prez, Nathan Eovaldi and Nick Pivetta.
