The Red Sox gave an update on Tanner Houck, saying he’s having surgery to have a facial plate inserted. There’s no timetable for a return just yet, but it’s good to see a step in the right direction for Tanner. (Alex Speier, Boston Globe)
Pablo Reyes was scratched from the lineup just before the game on Tuesday with abdominal soreness. David Hamilton and Enmanuel Valdez were also removed from their game in Worcester on Tuesday. I hope you like Kike in the middle infield, because there’s an infielder shortage in the organization, at least for a day or so.
