Tanner Houck to the Red Sox Injured List
The Boston Red Sox have placed right-handed pitcher Tanner Houck on the 15-day injured list due to a right forearm strain.
The measure is retroactive to Tuesday. In a corresponding move, the Red Sox called up right-handed pitcher Cooper Criswell from Triple-A Worcester.
Houck allowed 11 runs, nine hits (including two home runs) and three walks in 2 1/3 innings on Monday night in a 14-2 loss in Detroit.
Esto es definitivamente lo más perdido que he estado.
