2 years agoBoston Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck (back) has been diagnosed with a disc issue in his back. Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports that Houck will receive treatment on his back over the next week and after that, the team will determine what the next move will be. In delivering this report, Abraham added, "Doesn't sound promising." Houck was serving as the team's primary closer prior to landing on the injured list. Since he's been out, we've seen both Garrett Whitlock and John Schreiber utilized in the ninth. It's unclear who is more likely to see save chances going forward. In leagues were saves are highly coveted, both players are roster worthy.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
