Daily Red Sox Links: Enrique Hernández, Tanner Houck, Kyle Gibson

Enrique Hernández had a tough start to his Red Sox career, but with his recent bout of leadoff home runs and flashy defensive highlights, he’s turned into one of the team’s most valuable players of late. (Jesse Pantuosco; WEEI/Audacy)

Tanner Houck has pitched well at the MLB level, but he hasn’t got a full-time shot at a starting spot just yet. That may be about to change in the second half of this season. (Jen McCaffrey; The Athletic)

Of course, if the Red Sox want to make some deals this summer, it’s possible Houck could be part of the package of players sent out.
