Red Sox's Tanner Houck: Limited to four frames Wednesday
Tanner Houck allowed one run on four hits and no walks while striking out four batters over four innings in a no-decision against Tampa Bay on Wednesday.Houck was cleared to start for the first time in two weeks following a bout of right shoulder fatigue, but the Boston Red Sox elected to treat him with caution and pull him after 60 pitches despite an effective performance. The right-hander had good control in throwing 70 percent of his pitches for strikes, and he yielded just a second-inning run. If he came out of the outing without any setbacks, Houck could have a longer leash in his next start, which lines up to come in Toronto next week.

Red Sox's Tanner Houck: On track to start Wednesday
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that there's a "big chance" Tanner Houck (shoulder) will start Wednesday's game against the Rays, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.The 28-year-old was scratched from his scheduled start Friday versus the Yankees after receiving extra rest between outings in order to combat a "dead arm" phase, but he's now on the cusp of making his first start since Sept. 5. Assuming Houck pitches Tuesday as indicated by Cora, the right-hander could have some workload limitations while making his first start in two weeks.
