Tanner Houck admits he's 'probably the most lost I’ve ever been' amid tough start to 2025, struggles against the Cleveland Guardians.

And who knows: the next time we see Tanner Houck throw a baseball for the Red Sox it may be out of the bullpen. Houck has a 2.68 ERA as a reliever over the course of his career and could provide a major boost to a unit that has performed decently enough but could use some more steady arms for high-leverage situations.

Houck's first meltdown start occurred on April 14, when he gave up 12 runs (11 earned) over the span of 2 ⅓ innings against the Tampa Bay Rays. It was the worst outing by a Red Sox pitcher in more than 60 years. He nearly topped that Monday.
