The move is merely a formaility as Houck is expected to miss most, or all of the 2026 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. He struggled prior to the procedure in 2025, posting an 8.04 ERA in nine starts, but posted a 3.12 ERA in 2024 en route to his first career All-Star Game appearance.

An All-Star in 2024, Houck struggled to an 8.04 ERA in nine starts with the Red Sox last season before elbow trouble ended his season in May. He underwent UCL-repair surgery in mid-August.

The righthander is aiming for a return towards the end of the 2026 season, but he may have to wait until 2027 to rejoin the rotation.
