Red Sox activate Tanner Houck; Tyron Guerrero and Mickey Gasper placed on IL

sportsSep 27, 202633149

The Red Sox reinstated right-hander Tanner Houck from the 60-day injured list and announced he will start Sunday’s regular-season finale at Tropicana Field against the Chicago Cubs after missing the entire season recovering from Tommy John surgery. Boston placed reliever Tyron Guerrero on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder strain; Guerrero will not be eligible to return until October 9 and thus will be sidelined through at least the American League Division Series. The club also placed catcher Mickey Gasper on the 10-day injured list with a right biceps strain and transferred outfielder Eli White to the 60-day IL. Boston optioned right-hander Jedixson Paez and recalled outfielder Nate Eaton and right-hander Wyatt Olds. Guerrero had been activated last Sunday and appeared in two games this week, throwing one scoreless inning each against the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cleveland Guardians before suffering a setback. With Guerrero and Justin Slaten sidelined, the Red Sox bullpen will enter October without two key late-inning setup arms behind Aroldis Chapman and Garrett Whitlock.

MLB schedule makers understand the assignment. Hide the Phillies.

I mean, sure the tacos and temperate sunshine are great, but I'm never happier to live on the west/best coast than when the first round game times are released. These are all perfectly reasonable!

Bunch of Sox moves: * Recalled Nate Eaton and Wyatt Olds. * Reinstated Tanner Houck from the 60-Day IL. He starts today. * Placed Mickey Gasper on the 10-day IL * Placed Tyron Guerrero on the 15-day IL * Eli White to 60-day IL * Optioned Jedixson Paez Guerrero's shoulder is still bothering him.

Sunday media: Red Sox-Yankees will almost certainly be in the clear, but a streaming service may be necessary to watch some other MLB wild-card games. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/09/26/s...

All three Sox-Yankees games will be on NBC. All 8 p.m. starts. Some of us will need a pregame nap, I think.

Contreras as DH after saying 2 days ago his hand was still so swollen that he couldn’t grip a bat?? Maybe he’s just testing it out to see if he is a ‘go’ for New York? #redsox
